Orange Cherry Muffins

Preheat your oven to 375.

Wash the orange. Now puree the orange with the juice or water (i.e. cut the orange into wedges, put into a food processor or magic bullet or blender and puree the whole thing, skin and all… trust me). Mix the orange puree, egg, oil, and honey together (sometimes it helps to heat the honey in the microwave).

Then, chop up the dried cherries a bit (and set aside).

Mix the dry ingredients together (Bette Hagman’s featherlight mix to follow). Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet with a wooden spoon, whisk, or stand mixer – whatever you prefer. Fold in the chopped dried cherries.

Spoon batter into a regular greased muffin tin, about 3/4 full in each . This should make 12 muffins. For an extra boost, sprinkle sugar on the tops of the muffins before you stick them in the oven, it just makes the top a little fancier.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Enjoy!
