Method:

1. Grease twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups or line with paper bake cups; set aside.

2. In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, orange peel, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.

3. In a small bowl combine egg, yogurt, oil, and vanilla. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).

4. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full.

5. Bake in a 400°C oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin cups.

6. Meanwhile, stir together powdered sugar and enough of the orange juice to make a glaze that is easy to drizzle.

7. Drizzle over warm muffins; serve warm.
