Blueberry Gems

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 egg whites
• 2/3 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.

In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of flour mixture, set aside.

In a separate bowl, stir together egg whites, orange juice, oil and vanilla. Add egg white mixture all at once to the flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Spoon into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden and toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing from pans. Serve warm with butter.
