Because we use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, we've increased the amount of dietary fiber and lowered the calories in our Orange Walnut Mini Muffins.

What You'll Need:
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) light butter
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract*
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon*
• 2 cups whole wheat flour*
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

What To Do:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat mini muffin pans with cooking spray.*

2. In a medium bowl, cream the sugar and butter. Add the egg, orange peel, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; mix well.

3. In another medium bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Add the flour mixture, orange juice, and water to the sugar mixture; stir until well combined. Stir in the walnuts then distribute the mixture evenly into the mini muffin cups.

4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Notes:
*To make this a gluten-free recipe, use gluten-free extract, seasoning with no added starch from a gluten-containing source, cooking spray with no flour added, and, for the all-purpose flour: 1-1/2 cups rice flour plus 1/2 cup cornstarch.
