Blueberry Orange Muffins

I made these muffins a while back and they were delicious. A really yummy twist on traditional blueberry muffins.

Combine and soak for about 10 minutes:
1 cup uncooked quick oatmeal
1 cup orange juice

Meanwhile, combine the following:
3 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar

In a separate bowl, combine:
1 cup oil
3 eggs

Add oil and eggs to oatmeal and orange juice mixture and mix well.

Add flour mixture and mix until combined, but do not over-mix.

Stir in the following:
1 ½ cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 tablespoon orange zest
½ cup chopped walnuts

Spoon into prepared muffin tins (I used jumbo, but you could use regular or even mini, if you prefer).

Combine the following and sprinkle on top of the muffins:
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Bake @375 for 25-30 minutes if using jumbo muffin tins or 400 for 15 minutes if using regular muffin tins.
