Blueberry-Orange Muffins

From EatingWell: July/August 1998

Small wild blueberries, which tend to be more tart than cultivated berries, are wonderful for baking. Forage them yourself or look for them with other frozen fruit in your supermarket.

3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg

2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons canola, oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Whisk all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Whisk egg, egg white and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Add yogurt, orange zest, orange juice, oil and vanilla; whisk until blended.
Make a well in the dry ingredients; add wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
