1 whole Orange
1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour 100% Whole Grain
1/3 cup organic cane sugar Wholesome, or Granulated Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup orange juice squeezed from the orange or from a jar or a box or from concentrate
1/4 cup melted butter Slightly Cooled

1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

white whole wheat flour

1
Zest the whole orange first and then squeeze the juice from it. Hopefully, it will yield about a 1/2 cup of juice.
2
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and line muffin pan cups with paper liners.
3
Melt the butter slightly and let it cool.
4
In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice and orange zest and oatmeal. Let them rest while combining the other ingredients. This keeps the oats from being too dry.
5
In a medium bowl, whisk together the wheat flours, sugar, baking powder and salt.
6
In another bowl, add the egg and yogurt, and whisk together. Add the cooled melted butter and whisk.
7
Stir the oatmeal, orange juice mixture into the egg, yogurt mixture. When combined, add to the flour mixture and mix well.
8
Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
9
Fill the muffin cups approximately 2/3 full and sprinkle with a little sugar, then bake for 15-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
