Gettin' Ready

Got everything ready to go...I hope.  Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, rolls - check.  Family members are bringing the pumpkin pie and green bean casserole.  Should be yummy.  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Favorite Blueberry Muffin Recipe

Don't these look yummy? I found this recipe years ago in the May/June 2004 issue of Country Woman magazine, and it's become a favorite.  They stay nice and moist for days, and freeze well.  Here we go:

Orange Blueberry Muffins

1 cup quick-cooking oats

1 cup orange juice

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)

Topping:

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a small bowl, combine the oats and orange juice.  In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.  Combined the oil, eggs, and oat mixture; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Fold in blueberries.

Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.  Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes.  Yield:  1 1/2 dozen.

Enjoy!
