- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
(optional)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 medium egg
- 1/3 cup oil
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking
soda, salt, sugar and the orange rind, if
you choose to use it. Mix these together
with a fork or a whisk to make sure the
ingredients are evenly distributed. Pour in
the orange juice, crack in the egg, and
measure in the oil. Stir the mixture up so
that all the flour is moistened by the wet
ingredients. Don't over mix it; the batter
should still be lumpy. Turn the batter into
16 or 18 well oiled muffin cups and bake at
400° for about 20 minutes. When they are
nicely browned on top, remove them from the
oven and allow to cool slightly. They may be
eaten right away for breakfast or a snack,
or you may frost them with the following
concoction:
Simple Frosting:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
(optional)
Combine everything in a small bowl and
drizzle over baked muffins. My kids prefer
them with the frosting, so this is how we
usually eat them. These also make excellent
lunch box snacks.
