Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Squeeze the juice from 2 oranges into a bowl.

Melt the butter and let it cool before adding the egg to avoid cooking it.

Mix the melted butter with the egg and orange juice.

If using honey, agave, or maple syrup instead of sugar, add it now with the wet ingredients.

Grate in some orange zest after washing the oranges.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: white flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Mix the dry ingredients well to ensure they are fully incorporated.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients gently using a spatula, folding until just combined; do not overmix.

Grease the muffin tin to prevent sticking.

Fill the muffin wells to the top for larger muffins or two-thirds for smaller ones.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for firmness and slight browning to determine doneness.

Let muffins cool in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
