If you need something quick and easy to grab in the morning or as a snack, you will love my orange oatmeal muffins recipe. These muffins have a hint of ginger and coconut flavor from the ground ginger and coconut oil. You can use cinnamon instead of ground ginger if you prefer. If you want that coconut flavor, be sure to use unrefined coconut oil. Otherwise, refined coconut oil or regular vegetable oil will work too. You can always add more ingredients such as nuts, seeds or even chocolate chips. You can make these delicious muffins in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. They can be your breakfast, snack or even dessert! Use the leftover orange juice concentrate to make orange juice. Absolutely no waste here.
