Italian Orange Almond Oat Crunch Muffins Recipes

ORANGE OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• 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.

ALMOND AND OAT FIBER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease the bottoms of 12 standard muffin cups.
• Mix almond meal, sweetener, oat fiber, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Whisk egg whites, kefir, and oil together in another bowl. Mix in dry ingredients just enough to moisten. Do not overmix; batter should be lumpy. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full of batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE CRUNCH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, then toss the cranberries in the mix and stir to coat.
• In a separate bowl, or in a large measuring cup, whisk together the egg, oil, milk, orange juice, and orange oil or peel. Gently and thoroughly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Using a muffin or cookie scoop, or a 1/4-cup measure, pour the batter into 12 lightly greased muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
• Topping: Combine all of the topping ingredients. Sprinkle a scant 1 tablespoon of topping over the batter in each muffin cup.
• Baking: Bake the muffins in a preheated 400°F oven for 20 minutes, or until they're nicely domed and a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
• Remove the muffins from the oven, and run a knife around the edge of each one to separate it from the pan. Carefully tilt each muffin in its cup so steam doesn't collect underneath as they cool. After about 5 minutes, transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
