Orange Oat Muffins

31 May, 2013 by Tara 2 Comments

A recipe for Orange Oat Muffins. These muffins come together easily in less than 30 minutes for a quick breakfast or brunch addition.

Orange season is coming to a close and I still had a couple of oranges to use up. I found this recipe for Orange Oat Muffins by Technicolor Kitchen and it was the perfect use. The muffins comes together quickly and are bursting with orange flavor with the inclusion of the zest and juice. The oats inside the batter and on top add a nice contrasting texture.

Be careful not to overmix the batter. Fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg mixture just until combined. Overmixing will create a tougher muffin.

Fill each muffin tin about 3/4 full. I slightly overfilled a standard ice cream scoop to transfer the batter to each of the prepared muffin tins. I have found this to be the easiest way to get a consistent size. 

Be generous with the sprinkling of the oats over each muffin. The tops will expand in the oven and you will want a decent layer.

These muffins are best the day they are made, especially warm from the oven.

    These are wonderful! My son says they’re like drinking orange juice in a muffin. I made a few changes to the recipe to make it even healthier, but the foundation is all yours and they are delicious. Thanks so much. (I blogged them here.)
