1. To make the topping, combine the topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.

2. Combine the oats and orange juice, and set aside for 20 minutes.

3. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda, and stir to mix well. Add the orange juice mixture and the egg whites to the flour mixture, and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

4. Coat muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray, and fill 3/4 full with the batter. Imho the spray works better than the little paper liners, too much yummy muffin left sticking to the paper. Sprinkle the topping over the batter. Bake at 350 F for 14 to 16 minutes, or just until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

5. Remove the muffin tin from the oven, and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before removing the muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature
