Directions
- PREHEATED OVEN: 400F
- Large Bowl: Combine flour, sugar, baking pwdr and salt.
- Small Bowl: Combine orange juice, marmalade, lowfat milk, oil, orange peel and egg; reserve water. Add in these liquids to the flour mix. Fold just till moistened, adding more water if needed. Batter will be stiff.
- Line a muffin tin with paper c.. Fill each c. 2/3 full.
- Topping: Combine sugar and spices and sprinkle proportionately over muffins.
- Bake at 400F for 18 to 22 min. Muffins should be moist. Serve hot.
- NOTES : REVIEW: Unlike some lowfat muffins, these turned golden. Spicy and aromatic. For our test, we used sugar substitute. The muffins had a good crumb. They were a little dry baked for 20 min.
- Karin sent a recipe for spicy orange muffins. We made some this morning.
- Of course I didn't follow the recipe precisely.
- so, we nixed the idea of a streusel top - although I do love it - and substituted buttermilk for lowfat milk. I halved the recipe, using a medium egg instead of a large one.
- The muffs were a little dry but I think which's because I let them go for 20 min and should have checked when the I started smelling them from another room (say 18 mins). Bob says which they were spicy and orangy and which he wouldn't discourage anyone from trying these but they are low-fat from scratch muffins. (which means "dry" - that is "an excuse to slather with margarine."
- I think they would be good as a muffin with soup, like a corn chowder or possibly "cream" of celery.
