Seriously delicious muffin. It's like getting all of your antioxidants in one place! Non-dairy, low calorie, and super-healthy, this recipe came from Veggie Life Magazine Ingredients:

2/3 cup wheat germ |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 large blood oranges (any type of orange citrus fruit may be used, though the blood oranges make for nice visual contrast) |
2/3 cup sweet potato puree |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1 large egg |
1/3 cup canola oil (or substitute applesauce to further reduce the fat) |
2 tablespoons raw sugar (optional, can substitute cinnamon sugar or anything else you desire. equally delicious left off enti) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly spray or oil standard 12-muffin tin, or line with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
3. Grate zest from oranges; set aside. Peel pith from oranges, then separate into sections. Cut 2/3 of the sections across the segment into half-inch pieces; set aside.
