Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats plus more for topping
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp orange zest
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts divided
- ⅔ cup fresh orange juice
- ½ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 2 Tbsp coarse sugar such as sanding sugar or turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray; set pan aside.
- Using a large bowl, add flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, orange zest and ½ cup of chopped walnuts; stir until well combined. Set flour mixture aside.
- Using a separate medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, milk, egg and melted butter. Pour liquid ingredients into bowl with dry ingredients; stir until just barely combined.
- Divide batter into prepared muffin tin. (Note: You can fill the muffin cups very close to top as these muffins won’t rise too much.)
- Sprinkle additional oats, coarse sugar and remaining ¼ cup of chopped walnuts on top of muffins.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out mostly clean.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before removing muffins from pan. Transfer muffins to a wire cooling rack until ready to serve.
