To Make the muffins:
Mix dry ingredients together and sift into mixing bowl. Set
aside. Combine: eggs, cooking oil, applesauce, milk, orange juice, vanilla and almond
extracts. Mix thoroughly. Make a "well" in center of dry ingredients; then add liquid
ingredients all at once. IMPORTANT FOR TENDER MUFFINS; with wooden spoon gently
mix, only until dry ingredients are moist, then fold in the blueberries. Fill well-greased
muffin cups 2/3 full. Sprinkle tops with granulated sugar or follow EXTRA TIP above.
Bake at 400° for 15 - 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
Yum.
