- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup white sugar

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 6 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
In a mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, nutmeg, sugar, and orange peel. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, margarine, and milk.
Stir flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just moist. Stir in raisins, poppy seeds, and oats; mix well. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan; fill muffin cups about 3/4 full.
