Strawberry Orange Muffins

Ingredients:
1 cup chopped strawberries
(2 cups whole berries)
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbs orange juice
1-1/2 cups flour (may use all or part whole wheat)
1/2 cup Soy Flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
2/3 cup orange juice
2 Tbs Soy Oil
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1-1/2 tsp freshly grated orange peel*

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Mix the chopped strawberries with the sugar and 1 Tbs orange juice. Allow to sit while preparing the batter.
Combine the flour, soy flour, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
In a smaller bowl whisk together the orange juice, oil and egg whites. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and mix just until blended (batter will be thick). Stir in the strawberry mixture and the orange peel.
Divide the batter among 12 nonstick or lightly greased muffin cups and bake at 350° for 15 minutes, until center tests done and the muffins are golden.

*Fresh orange peel adds a terrific zing to these muffins. Wash an orange well, then peel with a vegetable parer. Take off only the orange skin the white has a bitter taste. Chop finely with a knife.
