Orange Bran Muffins
2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
2 cups natural wheat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup oil
juice of two large blood oranges, strained'
zest or two large blood oranges

Preheat oven to 350◦F. Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners.
In a large bowl, stir together the first six dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then beat in the milk, oil, juice, and zest. Stir into dry ingredients until just combined.
Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 18 muffins.

Note: If blood oranges are unavailable, any type of orange can be used. Blood oranges give a more pronounced orange flavor, so use additional juice/zest if desired.
