Fresh Orange Muffins

Description: I got this recipe from one of my SILs after having them at her house. Next time I make them I think I will add miniature chocolate chips!

Ingredients:

• 1 orange, quartered and seeds removed (with peel)
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400F; spray a muffin tin (12) with non-stick cooking spray like Pam and set aside.
2. Put orange quarters in food processor (or blender) along with orange juice and process or blend until pureed.
3. Add egg and butter to food processor and combine; pour into large bowl.
4. Combine dry ingredients together in a separate bowl, then add all at once to orange mixture.
5. Stir to combine.
6. Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes; remove from oven and let stand in tin for 5 minutes before removing muffins.
