Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest (from one medium orange)
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Line a 12-inch muffin baking tin with paper cupcake liners (or spray lightly with cooking spray).
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together both flours, baking powder, and poppy seeds.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, yogurt, oil, orange zest, and orange-juice concentrate.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry, just enough to combine. The batter will be very thick.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups with a tablespoon, filling each about two-thirds. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out dry.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
