I used applesauce instead of oil and skipped the small amount of walnuts in
the original recipe. These are great for those who don't like real sweet
muffins. Oh, and I didn't have any orange extract, so I skipped that
ingredient. You could add some orange zest if you wished.

Original recipe was Cranberry-Nut Muffins. Adapted to be fatfree.
Makes 8 servings
These moist muffins were invented to use up some leftover cranberry sauce.
They've now become one our very favorite muffins.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Lightly oil 8 muffin cups or spray with a nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda, and
cinnamon. Mix well.
In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Beat with a fork or wire
whisk until blended. Add to dry mixture, mixing until all ingredients are
moistened.
Divide mixture evenly into prepared muffin cups.
Bake 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes
out clean.
Remove muffins to a rack to cool.
