Today, I made the Fresh Orange Muffins from the 100 Muffin Cookbook. These were messy to make, and I was not very impressed. But, then again, I don't really like Orange Juice; so for the Orange-Lover these are probably delightful, light, and refreshing. My own personal culinary expert (a.k.a: my hubby) said he thought the muffins were good, but just weren't his favorite flavor. I made a few adjustments-I added a teaspoon of cinnamon, and then I sprinkled the muffin tops with cinnamon-sugar mixture before baking to give them a little extra flavor.

Fresh Orange Muffins
Ingredients:
5 oranges
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
Heaping ½ cup superfine sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup fresh orange juice
6 tbsp canola oil
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan or line with 12muffin pan liners. Finely grate the orange rind from 2 of the oranges and set aside. Using a serrated knife, remove the peel from all of the oranges, discarding the white pith. Cut the flesh into segments, reserving 6 segments Cut the reserved segments in half and set aside. Coarsely chop the remaining orange segments.
Sift together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and the baking powder in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar. Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl, then beat in the orange juice, reserved orange rind, and oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten liquid ingredients, and add the chopped oranges. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan. Place the reserved halved orange segments on the tops of the muffins. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until well risen, golden brown, and firm to the touch. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then serve warm or transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
