Tasty Orange-Oatmeal Muffins

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing each cup or lining with paper muffin liners. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats, all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and raisins. Whisk together until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the orange zest and canola oil, whisking to combine. Pour in the milk and whisk until the wet ingredients are well incorporated. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine! (2 minutes)

Recipe View Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (20 minutes)

Recipe View While the muffins are baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of fresh orange juice with the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Once the muffins are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, gently remove the muffins from the tin and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the orange glaze over each muffin while they are still warm. This will allow the glaze to soak in and add extra moisture and flavor. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Serve the Orange-Oatmeal Muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy! (0 minutes)
