Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a 12-inch muffin tin with paper cupcake liners or spray lightly with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together both flours, baking powder, and poppy seeds. In another mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, yogurt, oil, orange zest, and orange-juice concentrate.

Using a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry, just enough to combine. the batter will be very thick.

Divide the batter among the muffin cups with a tablespoon, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned & toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out dry. Cool on a wire rack.

If using glaze, blend powdered sugar with the orange-juice concentrate. Drizzle over muffins and serve.
