This recipe is an old one I like to go back to again and again. I have usually made it using chopped dates.
Ingredients:
- 1 large, seedless orange
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped dried figs (12 figs)
- Peel orange, using potato peeler. Remove pith and discard. Divide orange into segments. Put thin peel, orange segments, sugar, eggs and oil into blender and blend until it resembles a smoothie.
- Add these wet ingredients to combined dry ingredients in bowl, stirring just until mixed. If batter is too thick, add 1/4 cup orange juice - it will depend on how juicy the orange is.
- Stir in chopped figs.
- Divide into 12 prepared, medium muffin cups.
- Bake at 400 F for 15 - 20 minutes.
