   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/3           cup  whole flaxseeds
   1                cup  whole-wheat flour
      3/4           cup  all-purpose flour -- plus
   2        tablespoons  all-purpose flour
   1 1/2      teaspoons  baking powder
   1           teaspoon  ground cinnamon
      1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
      1/4      teaspoon  salt
   2              large  eggs
      1/2           cup  pure maple syrup
   1                cup  nonfat buttermilk -- (see Tip)
      1/4           cup  canola oil
   2          teaspoons  freshly grated orange zest
   1         tablespoon  orange juice
   1           teaspoon  vanilla extract
   1 1/2           cups  fresh blueberries
   1         tablespoon  sugar

Whole-wheat flour and flaxseeds give these maple syrup-sweetened 
blueberry muffins a delicious, nutty flavor. Compared to a 
traditional version of the recipe, they have four times the dietary 
fiber and substitute healthful monounsaturated fat (canola oil) for 
saturated fat (butter).

Preheat oven to 400F. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.

Grind flaxseeds in a spice mill (such as a clean coffee grinder) or 
dry blender. Transfer to a large bowl. Add whole-wheat flour, 
all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; 
whisk to blend. Whisk eggs and maple syrup in a medium bowl until 
smooth. Add buttermilk, oil, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla; 
whisk until blended.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and stir in the wet ingredients 
with a rubber spatula just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. 
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with sugar.

Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown and spring back when 
touched lightly, 15 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. 
Loosen edges and turn muffins out onto a wire rack to cool slightly.

Tips & Notes

Tip: No buttermilk? You can use buttermilk powder prepared according 
to package directions. Or make "sour milk": mix 1 tablespoon lemon 
juice or vinegar to 1 cup milk.
