Whole Wheat or Gluten Free Healthy Corn-Blueberry Muffins
Makes 12


Ingredients
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or substitute for gluten free flour)
3/4 cup coarse cornmeal
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 1/4 cups soy milk
2 large eggs, separated (keep whites)
2 tablespoons earth balance, melted
1 1/2 cups blueberries (about 1/2 pound), picked over and rinsed

Nonstick cooking spray

Directions/
Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C), with rack in center. Lightly coat a standard muffin tin with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and orange zest.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy milk, egg yolks (keep the whites in a separate bowl), and butter. Stir soy milk mixture into flour mixture until just blended. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until just stiff. Gently fold whites and blueberries into the batter until just combined.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling each cup full. Bake 18-20 minutes for full size and 10-12 minutes for mini muffins, or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Let muffins cool slightly, about 10 minutes, before turning out of tin. Enjoy!
