Show Me the Muffins
Italian Orange-Almond Crunch Oat Muffins
I’m starting off the week with some shameless self-promotion. Check out Quaker Oats and my muffin recipe, which recently netted me 2K! I made them today and added an embellishment of orange marmalade glaze.
These are very popular with my kids, too.

Italian Orange-Almond Crunch Oat Muffins
Makes 12 muffins
1 cup oats, quick or old-fashioned
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons grated fresh orange zest
1 1/2 cups packaged baking mix (I use Bisquick “Heart Smart”)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup crushed amaretti cookies (about 6 small cookies)
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray the pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, buttermilk, orange juice and zest. Let stand 10 minutes.
Combine the baking mix, sugar and cookies in a medium bowl.
Add butter, egg and extract to oats and mix well. Add the dry ingredients, mix just until moistened.
Fill the muffins cups about 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes, or until tops are light golden brown. Cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and place muffins on the rack over a sheet of wax paper.
Melt the marmalade and liqueur in a small saucepan. Drizzle over the muffins. Serve warm.
Passing the Meme
Lydia of The Perfect Pantry tagged me for this meme: Five Things Most People Don’t Know About Me, so here goes:
1. I’m devoted to entering cooking contests. It started out as an innocent way to indulge my creative side in the kitchen, and became kind of addicting.
2. I can put my leg behind my head in this bizarre-looking yoga posture.
3. Lilacs are my favorite flowers.
4. I always arrive five minutes late for everything.
5. I cannot tolerate cooked green bell peppers. Blech!

Amaretto? Marmalade?
SIGN ME UP!
Very fun: I will meme back.
For the record, and in response to your five:
1. You have my attention! I have never tried a contest but am fascinated!
2. I can stretch and bend but am embarrassed to say not yet have I tried Yoga. It is on my 2007 new year resolution list!
3. At least in my top three: I love lilacs!
4. guilty as charged. I am convinced it has to do with my allergy to lag time.
5. Me neither! Always red, never green: ew!
Love the look of those muffins...I love citrus in baked goods. Congratulations on winning!
I'd love to do the meme. Good thing you won't have to eat green peppers tonight :) But honestly, Karen, green peppers are so delicious cooked Indian-style...won't you give them one more chance?
Fun list! All except #4 were new to me! ;-) PS To everyone interested in the muffin recipe, they're great!
In a perfect world, I would eat muffins every day.
I would not, however, come within 60 feet 6 inches of a "meme".
(True, there is no "I" in meme. But what there is, is worse.)

Congrats to you!! What a great accomplishment, and to win 2k too...awesome!
I did this meme a couple of weeks ago. I had a hard time coming up with 5 things, but you can find them here:
