Blueberry-Orange Muffins
I have made a lot of different blueberry muffins and these turned out the very best. They are sooo light they melt in your mouth and have the perfect amount of orange and sweetness. (I always mix muffins the way I was taught to handle muffin dough in home ec...i.e. gently folding the premixed liquids in to the premixed dry ingredients and being sure not to over-work the batter to prevent "cone tops" on the muffins). I used frozen blueberries instead of fresh and I ended up letting the orange juice soak into the oatmeal for about 2 hours because I had to run for eggs and oil. I am not sure if it changes the texture of the muffin or not, but you coudn't even tell there was oatmeal in them (I even used old-fashioned oats instead of instant). For the tops, I just liberally sprinkled cinnamon toast topping on top, since I always have that on hand and my husband is allergic to nuts. AWSOME.
