Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375° and line a 6-cup muffin tin with muffin liners. Sift flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Add poppyseeds and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract on low speed until fully incorporated. Drizzle in melted butter and whisk on low speed until combined. Add orange purée and mix on low speed until combined. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just incorporated but no longer, about 30 seconds. Do not over-mix. Some dry bits are okay. Remove bowl from stand mixer. Fold in remaining dry bits with a rubber spatula. Fill each muffin mold ⅔ full. Bake 15 minutes, rotate muffin tin, and continue baking until a toothpick comes out clean, about 12 more minutes. Let muffins cool for 10 minutes. Top each muffin with 1 tablespoon orange glaze and garnish with a slice of candied kumquat.
Preparation for orange glaze:
Place powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed, gradually adding orange juice. Consistency will be that of thick glue. Add water by the tea- spoon to adjust consistency, if necessary.
