Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Oranges
1/4 c Honey
2 c Flour
1/2 c Uncooked oatmeal
-(not instant)
1 tb Baking powder
1 t Salt
1/2 c Sugar
2 Eggs -- slightly beaten
2/3 c Milk
5 1/2 tb Butter -- melted

PREHEAT OVEN TO 400F. Either grease the muffin pans or
line them with paper baking cups. Using the small side
of the grater, grate the rind from the oranges,
removing only the bright orange part, and set aside.
With a small, sharp knife, remove all the remaining
peel and, if necessary, trim the oranges all around so
that the slices will fit into the bottom of your
muffin pans. Cut the oranges into slices about
1/4-inch thick, pick out all the seeds and set the
slices aside. Put about 1 teaspoon honey in the bottom
of each muffin cup, and place an orange slice on top.
Combine the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, salt and
sugar in a large mixing bowl, and stir with a fork or
wire whisk to mix. Add the reserved grated orange
rind, the eggs, milk, and melted butter, and stir just
until mixed. Spoon the batter over the orange slices,
filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-to-20
minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center
of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and
serve warm.
