Using the Juicer...What took me so long???

Okay, I have had a small citrus juicer for quite sometime and never used it. My mom gave me hers and I decided it was time. Not sure what took me so long.

Bought 6 large oranges, cut em all in half and gave it a whirl today.
I've never been a big oj drinker, but let me tell ya, I will be drinking a lot of it from now on.

Once I had a pitcher of the most beautiful and fragrant orange juice I'd ever seen, I was left with a container full of pulp. The juice was so freakin' good, it seemed a shame to waste.

I decided to give Orange Poppy Seed Muffins a try. So glad I did.

2 cups flour
3 tablespoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
1 Cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup orange pulp
handful of poppy seeds

Mix together dry ingredients, Make a well.
Beat egg, and add milk and veg. oil.
Pour wet ingredients in the well and add Pulp. Mix together with a fork.

The dough will be lumpy. Pour into lined or well-sprayed muffin pan. Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 350.

We like ours sweet, so we whisked together some of the orange juice with powder sugar, creating a glaze, and poured it over the muffins. YUM.
