Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup oats, quick or old-fashioned
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tsp grated fresh orange zest
1 1/2 cups packaged whole grain baking mix
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup crushed amaretti cookies (about 6 small cookies)
3 tbsp melted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1 tbsp amaretto liqueur

Directions:

Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray the pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, buttermilk, orange juice and zest. Let stand 10 minutes.
Combine the baking mix, sugar and cookies in a medium bowl.
Add butter, egg and extract to oats and mix well. Add the dry ingredients, mix just until moistened.
Fill the muffins cups about 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes, or until tops are light golden brown. Cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and place muffins on the rack over a sheet of wax paper.
Melt the marmalade and liqueur in a small saucepan. Drizzle over the muffins. Serve warm.
