Ingredients:

2 cups flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cups orange juice

2 teaspoons grated orange rind (fresh)

1/3 cup melted butter

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup chopped cranberries

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1/4 cup quick Quakeroats

Instructions:

Born and raised in the Azores (Portugal), my grandparents were called “Ma” and “Pa.” My mother told me all about growing up on the farm — what a wonderful cook her mother was and how every Sunday the whole family got all dressed up to go to Sunday Mass. — Helen Mary Duarte

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix in remaining ingredients and stir well. Spray muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour batter into muffin tin. Sprinkle cinnamon/sugar on top. Bake for 25 minutes.

Note: Of course, Grandma did not have the luxury of “Quick” oats and “non-stick” cooking spray.

Yields: 12 muffins.
