Orange Poppy Seed Muffin
From: mensfitness.com
SERVES 12
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 t baking powder
3 T poppy seeds
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla extract
2/3 cup nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup canola oil
1 T finely grated orange zest (from one medium orange)
1/4 cup orange-juice concentrate Glaze (Optional)
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 T frozen orange juice concentrate
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-inch muffin baking tin with paper cupcake liners (or spray lightly with cooking spray).
In a large mixing bowl, sift together both flours, baking powder, and poppy seeds. In another mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, yogurt, oil, orange zest, and orange-juice concentrate.
Using a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry, just enough to combine. The batter will be very thick.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups with a tablespoon, filling each about two-thirds. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out dry. Cool on a wire rack.
If using glaze, blend confectioners' sugar with the orange-juice concentrate. Drizzle over muffins and serve.
