Healthy Recipes was fortunate enough to come across this home made recipe, many years ago. It is easy to make, tastes marvelous and is a basic recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
2 whole oranges
1 cup pure, orange juice, with heart health check on it
2 eggs
1 cup raisins (Sun-Maid are best)
1 cup melted butter (or use extra virgin olive oil much better for you)
1 cup bran into hot melted butter
3 cups Nutri-flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup icing sugar, not packed
1 tsp sea salt
FOLLOW ME:
Place cut oranges and juice in blender.
Add eggs, butter and bran mixture and raisins together and mix.
Add liquid mix to dry ingredients and mix only until flour has been absorbed by liquid.
Bake 20 – 25 minutes at 400 F degrees.
Enjoy these yummy muffins – bran is great for system as well. You can replace butter with warmed olive oil, which is better for you, or just have one muffin instead of two!
Yummy orange muffins may be served for breakfast, brunch or for coffee and tea as a side dish.
Healthy Recipe yields 12 large or 24 small muffins.

These are the kind of muffins I like –
home made!
Apples have numerous good qualities about them – so the saying goes
“An apple a day keeps the Doctor away”.
Apples contain
fiber, which
lowers the cholesterol, contain a good source of
flavonoids, and are low in calories.
Oats help keep our
heart healthy, provide
fiber and nutritionally, contain
good carbohydrates.
Oats have many uses, particularly in
cereals, but also can be used as a
filler in making
meat casseroles,
burgers and
meatloaves.Today we are making an old fashioned
Apple Oat Muffin recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
2 Cups Old Fashioned or quick cooking oats, uncooked
of course!
1 1/4 cups of Nutriblend or All Purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large egg lightly beaten
1 cup shredded tart apple such as Granny Smith, Royal Gala or Golden Delicious
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Pre-heat oven to 400F.
Lightly grease 12 standard muffin-cups.
In a large bowl mix oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt and ground cinnamon.
In medium bowl, beat buttermilk, olive oil, and egg with hand blender, until frothy. Stir in shredded apples.
Add small bowl contents into large bowl with flour and oat mixture, blending until mixture is just moistened; then add chopped walnuts.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
Bake 23 – 25 minutes or until muffins begin to brown; check the center with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, muffins are done.
Remove muffins from pan onto wire rack to cool for serving later.
Otherwise serve the muffins warm with a pat of butter (remember portions) and a coffee of your favorite choice or herbal tea.
Yield 12 muffins – Yummy!
