Ingredients

1 cup oats, quick or old-fashioned

1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk

1/2 cup orange juice

2 teaspoons grated fresh orange zest

1 1/2 cups packaged whole grain baking mix

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup crushed amaretti cookies (about 6 small cookies)

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/3 cup orange marmalade

1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur

Directions

Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray the pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, stir together the oats, buttermilk, orange juice and zest. Let stand 10 minutes.

Combine the baking mix, sugar and cookies in a medium bowl.

Add butter, egg and extract to oats and mix well. Add the dry ingredients, mix just until moistened.

Fill the muffins cups about 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes, or until tops are light golden brown. Cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and place muffins on the rack over a sheet of wax paper.

Melt the marmalade and liqueur in a small saucepan. Drizzle over the muffins. Serve warm.
