I am always trying to find healthy recipes that actually taste good too so that my kids will actually eat them!  I found this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens a few months ago and made a few minor tweaks to make these muffins even yummier!  The orange flavor is fairly subtle, so these muffins go perfectly with any kind of jam.  My kids ate the whole batch in less than a day so I consider this recipe a success!

QUINOA OAT ORANGE MUFFINS

1 cup oats
1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 orange
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (you can use plain, but the vanilla adds more flavor to the muffins)
2 eggs
3 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla

Place the oats and cooled cooked quinoa in a jelly roll pan (15X10X1) and toss together.  Add the olive oil and toss to coat.  Spread in an even layer and bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time.  Remove and cool.

Set aside 1/4 cup of the quinoa/oat mixture and put the rest in a bowl.  Add the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Set aside.

Finely shred the orange peel and juice the orange (about 3 Tbsp).  Whisk together the buttermilk, yogurt, eggs, butter, vanilla, orange juice, and orange peel.  Add this to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.  Spoon the batter into 12 greased muffin cups, filling each three-fourths full.  Sprinkle the remaining quinoa mixture on top of the muffins.  Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees and cool for a few minutes before serving.  Enjoy!
