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.
