From The Big Book of Breakfast, 2003, by Maryana Vollstet. Use the rind and all! An organic orange would be best for this. Ingredients:
1 large whole organic orange, washed and unpeeled |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup chopped dates (use kitchen shears) |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup butter, cut up |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut orange into chunks and remove seeds. Place chunks in a food processor work bowl and process until finely ground. Add juice, dates, egg, and butter and process until blended.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Pour orange mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin tins, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
