Orange-Date Pumpkin Muffins

Description

A whole orange pulverized in the food processor infuses these nutrient-rich muffins with vibrant citrus flavor and immune-supporting vitamin C. Combined with antioxidant-rich pumpkin and naturally sweet dates, these moist, heart-healthy muffins deliver both exceptional taste and nutritional benefits in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large seedless orange , scrubbed and cut into 8 sections (peel left on)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • ⅓ cup canned unseasoned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • ¾ cup chopped pitted dates
  • 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 12 standard 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray.

STEP 2

Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.

STEP 3

Puree orange sections in a food processor. Add egg, egg white, pumpkin, sugar (or Splenda), honey and oil; process until mixed. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; add the wet ingredients and dates, and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with nuts.

STEP 4

Bake the muffins until the tops spring back when touched lightly, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges and turn the muffins out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
