Orange-Honey Muffins ~ Very Healthy

I decided to make some healthy muffins for dessert last night and found an old recipe that is already pretty healthy. I adapted it a little to eliminate all refined sugar and margarine. Mine didn't look near as orange as their photo but they're really good!

Here's my adapted recipe:

Orange-Honey Muffins

2 cups unbleached flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup orange juice ( I juiced my own)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 tsp. liquid stevia
2/3 cup coconut butter, melted
1/2 cup egg substitute (I used 3/4 cup soy milk)
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
2. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, stevia, coconut butter, egg substitute and vanilla; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients.



















3. Coat 12 muffin cups with nonstick spray. Fill each cup 2/3 full with batter.



















Bake at 375ยบ F until golden, 15 to 20 min. Makes 12 servings/muffins.



















Enjoy!
