 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2                    Oranges
    1/4   c            Honey
  2       c            Flour
    1/2   c            Uncooked oatmeal
                       -(not instant)
  1       tb           Baking powder
  1       t            Salt
    1/2   c            Sugar
  2                    Eggs -- slightly beaten
    2/3   c            Milk
  5 1/2   tb           Butter -- melted

 PREHEAT OVEN TO 400F. Either grease the muffin pans or
 line them with paper baking cups. Using the small side
 of the grater, grate the rind from the oranges,
 removing only the bright orange part, and set aside.
 With a small, sharp knife, remove all the remaining
 peel and, if necessary, trim the oranges all around so
 that the slices will fit into the bottom of your
 muffin pans. Cut the oranges into slices about
 1/4-inch thick, pick out all the seeds and set the
 slices aside. Put about 1 teaspoon honey in the bottom
 of each muffin cup, and place an orange slice on top.
 Combine the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, salt and
 sugar in a large mixing bowl, and stir with a fork or
 wire whisk to mix. Add the reserved grated orange
 rind, the eggs, milk, and melted butter, and stir just
 until mixed. Spoon the batter over the orange slices,
 filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-to-20
 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center
 of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and
 serve warm.
