 Ingredients List

  • 1 orange (I actually used a tangelo), sliced into eighths
  • 1/2 C orange juice
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 C vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 C all-purpose flour (I used whole-wheat pastry flour, with excellent results)
  • 3/4 C sugar
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 1 t salt
  • 1/2 dried fruit (I used a dried berry mix”“cherries, blueberries, cranberries, and strawberries)

 Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and line muffin tins with papers.

The fun part: in the blender, combine the eggs, oil, orange juice, and sliced orange sections, and blend until smooth. While blending, mix the remaining ingredients except the dried fruit in a medium bowl, and create a well for the orange mixture. Pour it in, mix until a smooth batter forms, and fold in the dried fruit.

You may regret tasting the batter at this point because it is so gosh-darn, finger-licking, re-taste, save-a-little-extra-in-the-bowl-who-cares-if-the-muffins-are-tiny good. Anyway, divide the (remaining) batter evenly into the 12 muffin tins. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Cool on a rack.
