Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp orange zest
2 c fresh blueberries
2 eggs large
1 1/4 c low-fat (1%) buttermilk
1/2 c brown sugar
6 Tbsp canola oil
2 Tbsp orange juice, fresh
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Place the rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 F, line 18 muffin tins with paper liner and spray with Pam.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest. Add the fresh blueberries and toss gently to coat the blueberries in flour. This will help keep the blueberries suspended in the batter versus falling to bottom.
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk, brown sugar, canola oil, orange juice, and vanilla. Don't be concerned if the mixture looks curdled and lumpy.
  • 4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until most of the flour is incorporated. The mixture can be slightly lumpy, don't over-mix. Divide the batter among the 18 prepared muffin cups. Bake 14-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown around the edges.
