Marmalade Muffins

Before Christmas I shared a recipe for marmalade. I love marmalade with peanut butter on toast, (thank you for that idea Lovella) but wanted to do something else with the jam so I decided to bake marmalade muffins. They are so delicious. I know I will be baking another batch soon.

• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup oil
• 2/3 cup marmalade
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

1. Whisk together eggs, oil, marmalade, and buttermilk until blended.
2. Combine dry ingredients and add to wet ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
3. Spoon batter into a greased muffin tin.
4. Bake in a 375º oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Check to see if they are done with a toothpick after 20 minutes.
5. Cool 5 minutes, then remove muffins and cool on rack.
6. These muffins are delicious just as they are but you can brush a little glaze on them.
7. Yield: 12 muffins

Glaze:

• 3/4 cup icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons orange juice

1. Mix until smooth and drizzle over slightly cooled muffins.
