• 2 tsp of baking soda
• a small pinch of salt
• ¼ ground cinnamon

• 1 egg
• Orange zest if desired from half an orange
• 3 tbsp of orange juice

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or coat with a non-stick, diabetic cooking spray.
3. Sift the flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
4. Next, stir in the sugar, wheat germ, optional raisins, and then make a well in the center.
5. Whisk together the yogurt, oil, egg, orange zest, and juice.
6. Pour this into the well in the dry ingredients, stirring together just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Do not over-mix or beat too hard.

8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have risen.
9. Allow them to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
