- ½ cup orange marmalade
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans
- 3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper baking cups. Set it aside for now.
- In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix and sugar. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg, juice, and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the well in the dry mixture. Stir together just until moistened--don't overmix. Add the marmalade and pecans and stir them in well.

Notes
- Short-Term Storage: Cool completely and transfer to an airtight container. If you plan to use the muffins within 1-2 days, you can store them at room temperature. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator.
- Freezing: To freeze, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe resealable bag and store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
- Thawing and Reheating: If frozen, allow to thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 5-10 minutes. You can also microwave individual muffins for about 15-20 seconds for a quick warm-up.
