Title: Cranberry Orange Muffins Categories: Digest, Fatfree Yield: 1 Servings 2 c Flour 1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar 1 1/2 ts Baking powder 1/2 ts Baking soda 3/4 c Orange juice 1 tb (or more!) grated orange -zest Equivalent of one egg (1/4 c -fat-free egg substitute) 2 tb Nonfat yogurt, OR 2 Tbsp -applesauce 6 oz Fresh cranberries (chopped), -OR 1 cup dried cranberries 1/2 c Nuts (optional!) Mix dry ingredients (1st group) in med-large bowl. Mix wet ingredients (2nd group) separately. Combine both groups, then add in fruit, and nuts if desired. Bake in LIGHTLY greased/Pammed muffin pan at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, or till firm to touch and light brown on top. Makes 12 muffins. This basic recipe is very flexible. A few days ago I took out 1/4 cup flour and added 1/2 cup wheat bran - worked fine. I've also used lemon juice, lemon zest, and raisins instead of the cranberries. The nuts can be varied or just plain omitted (my husband likes the nuts - but to adhere to the rules of this list, you'd probably want to forgo them). Any kind of fruit can work - raisins, chopped dates, currants, dried cherries, dried apricots, etc. The amount of sugar depends on the fruit used and your individual taste - cranberries are on the tart side. Experiment - this recipe seems to be fairly forgiving! I'll try to remember to bring in some other muffin recipes - like banana wheat-bran, and oat-bran raisin.
