Breakfasts and Brunches

Orange Muffins

(1 dozen muffins)

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
6 packets Sweet 'N Low® granulated sugar substitute
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup low-fat milk
¼ cup margarine, melted
2 teaspoons finely grated orange rind

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray muffin tin with nonstick coating agent.* Sift dry ingredients into medium-size bowl. In separate bowl, combine egg with milk, margarine, and orange rind. Beat with fork or whisk to mix thoroughly. Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Pour in liquid ingredients; stir quickly until dry ingredients are just moistened and mixture is still slightly lumpy. Divide batter into muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Loosen edges of muffins. Let stand 1 or 2 minutes. Turn onto cooling racks.
