I still have an abundance of oranges in my fridge from a "Buy One Get One Free" sale a few weeks back. Still surprisingly good for out of hand eating I discovered this morning. I was going to make some marmalade with the rest to use as an ingredient in muffins I had seen on The Pioneer Woman yesterday, but that would be a little too much work for this rainy windy lazy kind of day!
My sister, Chrissie, makes these amazing Orange Chocolate Blender muffins but I didn't want the chocolate. (I know, a little crazy right?!) I was thinking a little more healthy and more on the breakfast side of things. She told me to leave out the cocoa and the chocolate chips and they'd be fine! Hum, great idea! I also added a little sugar and oat crumble on top like the ones I saw on TV though for a little added crunch. They turned out wonderful!
Here's how it goes:
1 Orange, washed and cut up in pieces
1/2 cup OJ (I used fresh squeezed, 3 oranges)
1 Egg
1/2 cup Butter or Margarine, melted
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1 3/4 cups Flour
3/4 cup White Sugar
1 tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Baking soda
Topping:
1 cup Oats
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 cup Butter or Margarine, melted
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and fill a dozen muffin cup with paper liners.
In a small bowl, mix all topping ingredients together until crumbly. Set aside.
In a blender (or you could use a hand blender and a tall container) blend orange and OJ until as smooth as possible.
Add the egg, melted butter and vanilla. Pulse until smooth.
In a medium size bowl stir together flour, white sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
Add blended mixture with flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Evenly distribute batter among all 12 muffin cups.
Sprinkle with oat topping.
Bake for 20 minutes.
All ready for the oven!
Now, while these lovely smelling muffins are baking, wash up those dishes and brew yourself a cup of coffee! I guarantee you're going to want to have one as soon as their ready!
Perfect!
