Oatmeal, Blueberry and Orange Muffins

Here's another recipe that I got out of a soppy but mindlessly entertaining book called "Friday Night Knitting Club". I made these on a Sunday morning using a mini-muffin pan. They were yummy, healthy and all eaten by noon!

Dakota's Oatmeal, Blueberry and Orange Muffins

Ingredients:

1 C plain rolled oats
1 C whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 Cups flaked sweet coconut - note: I used unsweetened and the muffins were fine
Grated rind of one large orange
1 egg
1/2 C liquid pasteurized honey
3 T canola or extralight olive oil
1 T vinegar
Juice 1 orange and add water to make one Cup of liquid
1 to 1 1/4 Cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Line a muffin tin with paper cups Note - I didn't have paper cups for my mini-muffin pan so I sprayed non stick on it

Combine the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl: oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the coconut and orange rind to the dry ingredients.
Get a separate bowl and beat the egg. Then incorporate the wet ingredients: honey, oil, vinegar, juice and water.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mix and stir until just moist.
Fold in the blueberries.
Pour batter into muffin cups, about 2/3 to 3/4 full
Bake in a pre-heated oven 20-25 minutes.
Remove muffins from pan and cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
