Prepare Ingredients: Peel the rind from the orange, being careful to get as little of the white pith as possible, and chop it finely. Then, remove the orange from its peel and chop it as well.

Mix Orange and Dates: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped orange, rind, juice, sugar, and dates.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and sour cream into the bowl containing the orange mixture.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the orange mixture, stirring just until moistened. It’s essential to use as few strokes as possible to avoid overmixing.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Grease muffin cups and fill them two-thirds full with the muffin batter.
