1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C, and line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk then add the oil, yogurt, orange juice and zest, and vanilla extract (and orange extract if using). Whisk to combine.
3. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. And whisk until just combined.
4. Divide the batter between 12 muffins cups, I use a cookie scoop. And bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the muffin. Allow to cool completely.
5. To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and orange juice. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more orange juice. Drizzle over the cooled muffins, and garnish with orange zest.
