Ingredients
2 medium oranges
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/2 cup low fat
plain Greek yogurt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Position rack in the center of the oven. Wash oranges. Using a zester or fine grater, remove the orange zest from the rinds of both oranges and place in a mixing bowl. Slice oranges in half. Squeeze juice into a 1 cup liquid measuring cup. Add water if needed to make 1/2 cup juice. Add juice to the zest. Add the oil, sugar, honey, eggs and yogurt. Mix together with a whisk. In a separate mixing bowl, place the flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon, until just combined. Batter should be lumpy. Add the blueberries and fold into batter until evenly distributed. Using a large table spoon, scoop the batter into a greased 12 cup muffin pan, evenly dividing the batter. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned on the tops. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack and serve.
