These are moist muffins with a hint of orange flavoring in it. I received this recipe from my great aunt at the time I was married.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup raisins (optional)
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or paper-line muffin pans.
In a small bowl soak oats in orange juice and water for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl cream together butter or margarine and sugars. Beat in eggs and oat mixture.
In a separate bowl, blend flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and nutmeg. Stir into batter. Stir in vanilla and raisins. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pans, filling 2/3 full.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
