This is a nice orange flavored muffin and the blueberries are a perfect compliment of flavors. Very easy to make, and freezes well. Perfect to tuck into lunches, or serve with breakfast along with a granola yogurt parfait.
- 1 whole orange washed well, cut into pieces
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk by adding a teaspoon of lemon juice to the cup and filling with regular milk letting it sit for a few minutes before using
- 1 1/2 cups flour (try substituting 1/2 cup of oat or wheat bran for 1/2 cup of flour for more nutrition value)
- 2/3 cup sugar (I used a 1/2 cup)
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw)
- Wash the orange very well, and cut into smaller pieces peel pith and all only discarding the navel and heavy thick white piece in the middle of the orange.
- Place the orange, oil, egg, milk into the blender and blend well till the orange is completely blended and no chunks left.
- Mix all dry ingredients together into a separate bowl.
- Stir in the blueberries.
- Pour over the liquid ingredients and gently stir the mixture together, only until the flour is moistened.
- Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins.
- Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. (my oven always bakes them in 18 minutes so check you muffins before that time.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes til they are easy to touch and the muffins come out of the tins much easier after they have cooled a bit.
Goodness gracious that photograph certainly has my mouth watering.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
I just made these muffins and when I checked them after 18 minutes, the toothpick came out clean and they seemed to spring back. However, within 5 minutes they are completely flat. Any idea why?
ReplyDeleteYummy! Love your blog and can't wait to try this recipe! I am one of your new followers now! Come visit me! :)
ReplyDeleteAnonymous.....I am sorry that the muffins went flat on you, but I really don't have a solution or reason for that. All I can suggest is to try again....:(
ReplyDeleteI wold suggest not to put in blender, too watery batter.
