Ingredients

• 1 Cup quick cooking oats
• 1 Cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 Cup white sugar
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Cup raisins
• 1 Large egg
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) orange zest, grated
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) canola oil
• 1 Cup milk
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) orange juice
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) white sugar

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper muffin liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, 0.25 cups of sugar, baking powder, and raisins. Mix well and set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the grated orange zest and canola oil, whisking until well combined.
4. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring a smooth mixture.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure tender muffins.
6. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the orange juice with 1 tablespoon of sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
9. Once the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle 1 teaspoon of the orange glaze over each muffin.
10. Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
