My husband and I tasted a muffin similar to these at a bed-and-breakfast when we celebrated our first anniversary, says Rhonda Lyons, Marshall, Texas. When I told a friend about them, she shared the recipe for these moist and tender muffins. They are fun to serve full-size or as mini muffins at ladies' luncheons or wedding or baby showers.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided
4-1/2 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cold butter
2 cups reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
1 egg
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg; cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside for topping. Place the biscuit mix in a bowl. Combine the egg, orange juice, marmalade, oil and remaining sugar; stir into biscuit mix just until moistened. Fold in pecans.
2. Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners; fill two-thirds full with batter. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 400° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
