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.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 12 standard 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray.
Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
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.
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.
