Jazz up a blueberry muffin with warm orange compote. It’s simple to make and provides a nice flavour contrast.
Ingredients
Dark brown sugar
1 tsp(s)
Cornstarch
1 tbsp(s)
Water
2 tbsp(s)
Fresh orange juice
½ cup(s)
Orange sections
1 cup(s), divided
Vanilla extract
⅛ tsp(s)
Lemon zest
⅛ tsp(s)
Lime zest
⅛ tsp(s)
Toaster-type blueberry muffin
3 item(s), low calorie preferred, sliced in half and toasted
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch, dark brown sugar and water. Whisk in orange juice. While whisking constantly, bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, about 2 minutes. (This will thicken quickly, so make sure to whisk constantly to prevent lumps.)
3
Whisk in 1/2 cup of orange segments and continue to simmer over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often. Orange segments should break down and sauce should thicken, but should not become stiff.
4
Remove sauce from heat. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon zest and lime zest. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
5
While sauce is cooling, slice each muffin in half and lightly toast in the oven on both sides. Serve each person a muffin half topped with 2 tablespoons of compote. Garnish with remaining 1/2 cup orange segments.
