Now that summer vacation is here and I don’t have two teenagers rushing off to school in the morning, I like making fresh muffins for them to enjoy…something that they don’t have time for during busy school mornings. Fresh muffins are such a treat and they disappear quickly in my house. These Double Orange Muffins have some nutritious ingredients in them…oranges, oat bran, flax seed, carrots and oatmeal…along with a streusal topping, which makes for tender and delicious muffins.
These muffins are easy to mix up too, especially if you buy a bag of shredded carrot from the grocery store.
And the orange juice and carrots keep them moist and they are perfect with a bit of butter too!
Double Orange Muffins

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oat bran
1/4 cup ground flax seed
3 tbsp. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup finely shredded carrot
Streusel Topping:
3 tbsp. large-flake rolled oats
1 tbsp. packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. cold butter
1 tbsp. finely shredded carrot
To Make:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In large bowl, whisk together flour, oat bran, flax seed, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger and cinnamon.

4. Stir in carrot. Divide among 12 greased muffin cups.
5. Streusel Topping: Stir together oats, sugar and flour. Rub in butter with fingertips until mixture is coarse crumbs. Mix in carrot. Divide over tops of muffins.
6. Bake in 350 degree oven until muffins spring back when pressed, about 15 minutes.
*recipe from the Canadian Living Test Kitchen & Minute Made Orange Juice
Although baking is a year round affair in our house, I especially love summer baking with the endless combinations of fresh fruit made into tasty cobblers, pies, and crisps.
Yummy! I often have to stock up on many ingredients such as flour, oats, baking powder, chocolate chips and more.
And my favorite place to stock up and save is Walmart. Walmart is celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary in Canada, and it has been my go-to place for shopping for my family for years.
I loved going there when my now 17 year-old daughter was an infant for cute baby girl clothes.
And when she started school, she was a big fan of the Mary Kate & Ashley line of clothing, only found at Walmart.
Walmart has been my favorite place for one-stop Christmas shopping for my children with it’s huge assortment of toys, clothes, movies and craft supplies.
When we need camping supplies, we go to Walmart. And when we need groceries, birthday party supplies, or new pajamas, we head to Walmart. Walmart knows that it costs a lot to raise a family and wants to help Canadians save money and live better.
As a special thank you to Canada, Walmart is giving one of my readers a Walmart gift card valued at $100!

those muffins Look good! We have a walmart nearby and I usually price match my flyers there and get the bulk of our food there. It saves me money and it has pretty much everything I need.
Walmart saves me money because of their amazing prices in kids tshirts. My girls outgrow them in one season but when they are only $4.99 you don't worry about it too much
These muffins look delicious! Walmart saves me money on toiletries and household decor items. I love their curtains, dish towels, bath towels. Always great value for the money.
Oh my!!!! Those look soooooooo damn good:) hahah…. I have an app on my phone that allows me to compare prices with various flyers and Walmart always comes on top! And now that they have Super Centres it makes my life that much easier:):)
Walmart's biggest box diapers are so cheap when they are on sale! They have saved me TONS of money on Pampers for both of my boys. Also their diaper genie replacement bags are the cheapest anywhere…even cheaper than Costco!

I love WalMart: especially now since they changed it to be a Super Centre. The sales are awesome and everything can be gotten at your fingertips.

Walmart not only helped me save in the store but also helped me save on gas in my car, because there is no more driving to this store or that store to grab the deals and specials, since they do ad matching and take coupons on top of their everyday low prices, I love shopping at my Walmart get all your shopping done in one spot

We don't get to Walmart too often (takes us too long to get there) but a number of times we have been lucky to find clearance items, like rubber boots, on for a great price. Buying 3 or 4 pairs for the price of one sure can stretch the budget. I also like the magazine they produce. brighterdays at hotmail dot ca is the best way to get me 🙂
Walmart really helps me out with their awesome, super well priced kids clothes! I always buy my daughters basics there each season, saving our family a ton of money!
WalMart saves me money as having an ever growing child, I'm always needing new shoes, longer pants or the next size of bike!
Those muffins look delicious! Walmart is always my go-to store because it has great prices and I can get everything I need in one place. Saves time, money and gas!
Walmart has made our lives better and saved us money by offering quality products for the cheapest price and if there is ever an advertised cheaper price, Walmart matches it!
We purchase all of our food, electronics and clothing at Walmart! Yay! We love it and we honestly couldn't afford to shop elsewhere!
thanks!

Walmart has saved me money over the years as they have great rollback prices and with their price matching there is no need to go anywhere else.
Walmart has saved us so much money over the years. I love that they price match and accept coupons, but I think the thing that saved us the most money is probably that they always have our essential home items at a lower price!

We maximize our savings at Walmart with their low prices and coupons. Walmart is our go-to place not only for day-to-day household items but for groceries as well. We save on gas as well by not having to run to different stores for different things as Walmart seems to have everything we need.

Not only does Walmart have the best prices I also get 2% cash back by paying with my Walmart Mastercard! Bonus! 😀
Walmart has helped my by always have awesome sales and price matching other stores.
Walmart has helped me save money by having almost everything I need in one store, so that I don’t have to drive around to get great deals. I have saved on baby/kid’s clothes, diapers, wipes, toys, food, holiday supplies, cards, books, toiletries etc… Their books, magazines etc are discounted from the sticker price, they take coupons, they do rollbacks… I can always find a great deal at Walmart! Plus, now that they offer a full grocery section I can also shop for all my fresh fruit, veggies etc there too – healthy food, instead of just pre-packaged treats at the checkout. Perfect!

I always think of Walmart at Easter time. When I was a single Mom I would go to Walmart to find special Easter treats for Easter baskets. They were inexpensive and fun and let me provide for my daughter and niece and nephew in the way I wanted to.
Nice muffins! I go to Walmart for my everyday needs. From my allergy meds, to my pharmacy needs. And ours is being renovated right now to a Supercentre, can't wait! nancyschofield@hotmail.com

Walmart has saved me lots of money over the years with accepting coupons and their price matching policy. They also have the lowest price on many things that my family uses – groceries, health & beauty, cleaning supplies, pet etc. Walmart is definitely my go to store! (jlcmrc@gmail.com)
Walmart has saved me alot of money over the years especially when it came to kids clothes and shoes. I have 3 kids so everything is in 3's and shoes alone with them outgrowing them every few months it seemed we always needed new ones. School supplies were always cheap and at christmas I could find everything I needed in one place at a great price. I also like that Walmart takes coupons that other stores wont accept and that helps too (roswello@hotmail.com)
Walmart is one-stop shopping for my household which saves time and money for everything from kitty litter to bananas to outdoor furniture; we got a great deal on a table and chairs for our small patio this summer! Thanks for sharing the recipe – they sound yummy! I must pick up some oat bran on my next trip to Walmart!
When I was a student Walmart helped me to have a better lifestyle by helping me save money. And now, today, they still do as I price match and am able to shop in town as they've opened a location here (yeah!)

Walmart helps me save with price matching… and even without that pricing is still great. I love how produce is always fresh and juicy looking.
Walmart is awesome, they have helped my family save tons of money, they always have the best price and are willing to match any store, with any item.
I have been a Walmart fan for many years! I shop there for everything from food to clothes to pet items! I am very excited as recently they have been adding more "alternative" foods such as tofu, and other meatless food products. Thank you Walmart for staying true to the times as well as your great prices! Ran to

I have been shopping at walmart since it has first come to manitoba. I has saved me money in so many ways. From baby clothes when my son was young, toys he played with when he got older. I have painted my living room and bedroom, picked up all the decor to go with it at walmart.
