Description

These orange-flavored muffins are perfect for a light breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup raisins
1 egg
3 tablespoons grated orange zest, or to taste
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

1 Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
2 Stir the oats, flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and raisins together in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg in a bowl along with the orange zest and canola oil. Whisk in the milk and stir in the flour until just mixed. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove the muffins from the oven. Stir the orange juice together with 1 tablespoon sugar until the sugar dissolves. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of this mixture over each muffin, remove from the muffin tin, and allow to cool slightly before serving.
