Mandarin-Blueberry Muffins

Mandarin-Blueberry Muffins

1-3/4 C. whole wheat flour
3/4 C. oat bran
1/3 C. sugar
1 T. baking powder
1 can (11 oz) mandarin orange segments in light syrup, undrained
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla (or almond) extract
1/2 C. + 2 T. fresh or frozen blueberries

Combine dry ingredients and stir to mix well. Crush the orange segments slightly and add oranges with juice, egg whites and vanilla extract to the flour mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in blueberries. Coat muffin tins with paper liners or cooking spray and fill 3/4 full with the batter. Bake at 350F for 15-18 minutes, or just until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before removing muffins. Serve warm or room temperature.
