Who can resist freshly baked blueberry muffins? In addition to their wonderful, summery flavor, they are loaded with vitamin C. These get an aromatic lift from fresh lemon. In the autumn, substitute fresh or frozen cranberries for the blueberries.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
Nonstick canola oil spray
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (spoon into measuring cup and level top)
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour (spoon into measuring cup and level top)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons canola oil
Grated zest of 1 lemon or 1/4 teaspoon pure lemon oil
1 cup fresh or frozen (do not thaw) blueberries
DIRECTIONS
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray twelve 2 3/4 x 1 1/2-inch nonstick muffin cups with oil.


In a medium bowl, whisk the flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.


In another medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer set at high speed, beat the applesauce, sugar, egg, oil, and lemon zest until frothy, about 2 minutes. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the applesauce mixture. Using a spoon, mix just until moistened (there should be a few traces of flour remaining). Gently fold in the berries until the flour is incorporated. Do not overmix.


Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until the tops spring back when pressed gently in the center, about 20 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool in the pan on a wire cake rack for 10 minutes before removing from the cups. Serve warm or cool completely on the rack.
