Oatmeal Orange Muffins
Here is a nice tasty muffin recipe that was given to me by a friend. I have gone
from baking cakes to making muffins now that there are just two of us at home. I
find they freeze well and they can be handy to serve when company drops in for a
quick visit. I wrap them individually and place them in a freezer bag. They can be
placed in the microwave for ten seconds or so and brought to the table for a tasty
treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
  1. 1 cup of oats soaked in 1/2 cup of orange juice and 1/2 cup of boiling water for 15 minutes
  2. 1/2 cup of margarine
  3. 1/2 cup of white sugar
  4. 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  5. 2 eggs beaten
  6. 1 cup of raisins
  7. 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  8. 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  9. 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  10. 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  11. 1 teaspoon of salt
  1. Cream margarine and sugar. Beat in eggs and stir in oat mixture. Stir in raisins and vanilla.
  2. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  3. Stir until moistened. Pour into well-greased muffin cups.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes

Yield 10 large muffins.

Enjoy

Hint
Boil the cup of raisins in water for five minutes. Drain off excess moisture and then add to muffin mixture. This softens the raisins and gives them a much sweeter taste.
