Ingredients
Brown sugar and sweetener for baking
1 tsp
Cornstarch
1 Tbsp
Water
2 Tbsp
Fresh orange juice
0.5 cup(s)
Orange sections
1 cup(s)
Vanilla extract
0.125 tsp
Lemon zest
0.125 tsp
Lime zest
0.125 tsp
Low calorie blueberry muffin(s)
3 item(s)
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch, brown sugar and sweetener for baking 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.
