Quaker Glazed Honey Orange
Oatmeal Muffins
Quaker Oatmeal and Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice
both contain many nutrients that have been studied for their
heart-healthy benefits. Quick and Old Fashioned Quaker
Oats contain soluble fiber that may help reduce the risk of
heart disease. Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice is a good
source of potassium. So let your cravings get the better of
you and indulge in an extra one or two of these muffins.
1 cup Quaker oats (quick or old-fashioned, uncooked)
2/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon Tropicana Pure
Premium orange juice, divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey, divided
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
22 teaspoons grated orange peel, divided
11 egg, lightly beaten
11/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat germ or oat bran
21/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
11. Heat oven to 400°F. Line 12 medium muffin cups with
paper baking cups or spray bottoms only with cooking spray.
2. In large bowl, combine oats, buttermilk, 1/2 cup orange
juice, 1/4 cup honey, oil and 11/2 teaspoons orange peel; stir
well and let stand 10 minutes. Stir in egg until blended.
3. In medium bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, baking
powder, baking soda and salt; mix well. Add to oat mixture
all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
(Do not overmix.) Fill muffin cups almost full.
4. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in
center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Cool muffins in pan on wire rack 5 minutes; remove
from pan. Cool 10 minutes.
5. Stir together remaining 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon
orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon orange peel in custard cup.
Quickly dip tops of muffins into honey mixture, allowing
excess to drip off. Serve warm. Makes 12 muffins.
Costco Tip: For small tea-party muffins, bake in mini muffin
tins 10-12 minutes.
Nancy’s Petite
Quiche Platter
Prebaked petite quiches
made of a delicate flour-and-butter pastry and filled with
milk, eggs, Swiss cheese,
bacon, chives, onions and
spinach are another excellent choice for teas, luncheons and even late-night
snacks. Nancy’s suggests
rewarming the quiches in
a conventional oven for a
flakier crust or the microwave
for a softer pastry.They also
warn that overheating can
cause dryness.
To add a little character
to your presentation, try
any of these Nancy’sPetite
Quiche garnishing tips:
• Cut slivers into a small
piece of red bell pepper
without cutting all the way
through. Fan out the slivers
and set across a celery
leaf. Place garnish on top
of and next to the quiches.
• For a festive look and a
splash of color, sprinkle
chopped red pepper and
parsley around your plate
of Petite Quiches.
• Line the bottom of your
plate with a broad leaf.
Example: Use a tea leaf
or banana leaf and place
quiches on the leaf for an
Asian ambience. (These
leaves can be found in
Asian grocery stores.)
