Whole Fruit Orange Bran Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat bran (not the bran cereal, the real thing)
1/4 cup sugar substitute
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 whole navel orange
3/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup non-hydrogenated soft margarine
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour though salt) and whisk to combine.
Scrub the orange and cut into 8 wedges, peel and all. Place in the work bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, nearly a puree. Add the milk through vanilla and pulse until combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Divide into 12 greased or paper-lined mufffin cups and bake until golden and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes.
