Orange Blossom Muffins

By: Rhonda Lyons 
"'My husband and I tasted a muffin similar to these at a bed-and-breakfast when we celebrated our first anniversary,' says Rhonda Lyons, Marshall, Texas. 'When I told a friend about them, she shared the recipe for these moist and tender muffins. They are fun to serve full-size or as mini muffins at ladies' luncheons or wedding or baby showers.'"

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter or margarine
  • 2 cups reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside for topping. Place the biscuit mix in a bowl. Combine the egg, orange juice, marmalade, oil and remaining sugar; stir into biscuit mix just until moistened. Fold in pecans.
  2. Coat muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or use paper liners; fill two-thirds full with batter. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Tasteless and dry. We are eating it slathered with flavored butter.
