How to Make Orange Mince Muffins Go Lite

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup whole wheat flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 large egg, 1 large egg white, ½ cup plain yogurt, ¼ cup milk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup orange mincemeat.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While still warm, brush the tops of the muffins with melted orange marmalade for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
