These dense muffins are very flavorful and have a lot of texture. I always seem to have a stray orange or two to use up, as well as some raisin bran cereal. This takes care of them both. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 oranges |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
4 1/2 cups raisin bran cereal |
1 cup pecans, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Grease or line muffin cups.
3. In a large bowl, combine first four (dry) ingredients; set aside.
4. Remove the peel and white membrane from two of the oranges; either discard or save the peel for another use.
5. Cut all four of the oranges into eighths and remove the seeds; puree in a food processor.
6. Measure out 2 cups of puree. If there is any extra, save it for another use.
7. Stir oranges, eggs, oil, cereal and nuts into the dry ingredients; blend just until mixed.
8. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full.
9. Bake for 20 -25 minutes or until they test done with a toothpick.
