Oatmeal Orange Muffins

Submitted by Anissa

"I love the orange flavor of these, different for a muffin. Yummy! I got this recipe from an old (1980's) Canandian cookbook called "Muffin Mania". I usually double or triple the recipe and freeze the extras.(Prep time includes soaking time.)"

I didn’t have brown sugar so substituted with more white. I added a bit of cinnamon and flax meal to it, too. I topped them with orange zest. I used fresh squeezed oranges for the juice. They turned out light and fluffy and were the perfect after school snack with butter and a slice of cheese!

Absolutely delicious! Fragrant, moist and full of flavor. A new family favorite. I have now made these 3 times and they are gone within a day with a request for more each time. Easy to make with everyday ingredients. Thank you!

These muffins were quick and easy to make and smelled great while cooking. I didn't have any old fashioned oats, so I used packets of plain instant oatmeal instead and they turned out just fine. They were absolutely delicious when warm from the oven and had lots of flavor. I will definately make these again.

Everyone loved these muffins. They have such a nice orange flavor. I added some chocolate chips along with the raisins which my kids loved. I think next time I won't fill my muffin cups quite as full though, the batter cooked over a bit. Will definitely make again.
