Healthy Orange Marmalade Muffins Recipe

Name: Healthy Orange Marmalade Muffins
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour; 1 cup oat bran or 1 cup wheat bran; 2 tablespoons sugar; 3/4 cup skim milk; 1/2 cup orange marmalade; 1/4 cup reduced fat margarine or 1/4 cup light butter, melted; 2 egg whites, lightly beaten (or 2 equivalent in Egg Beaters egg substitute); 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans; 3/4 cup blueberries (optional)

Servings: persons

1
Place the flour, bran, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl, and stir to mix well. Set aside.
2
Place the milk, marmalade, margarine/butter, egg whites and vanilla in a small bowl and stir to mix well. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in the pecans or blueberries, if desired.
3
Coat the bottoms only of muffin cups with non stick cooking spray (I just sprayed the whole thing.go wild!), and fill 3/4ths full with the batter. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes (I used frozen berries and it took a couple of minutes longer) or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean (I actually just lightly push the tops.if they bounce back they're done). Be careful not to overbake.
4
Remove the tins from the oven, and allow to sit 5 minutes (yeah right). Refrigerating any leftovers not eaten in 24 hours.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
