Sunshine Muffins

These orange muffins start with a whole fresh orange, peel and all.

They are quickly made in a food processor.

If you don't have a food processor you can puree

the orange and juice in a blender.

Cut the orange into 8 pieces and drop in the bowl

with 1/2 C orange juice.

Puree about 1 minute.

Add egg and melted butter. Blend until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients;

 flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.

Pulse a few times just until blended.

Pour into sprayed muffin tin.

Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400. 

Let sit for 5 minutes before removing.

Enjoy warm. 

 Butter and raspberry jam would be good too.

Or let the muffins cool and glaze.

You can freeze leftovers.
