This is a wonderful and healthy recipe I got from a Prevention cookbook several years ago. High in fiber, low in fat with no added salt, it has natural sweetness and is delicious and filling. I always use whole wheat flour with it. These also freeze nicely and can be thawed in the microwave in about 20 seconds.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour or 1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup low-fat granola
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup apple, chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup low-fat granola
Directions:
1. Whisk together the flour, oat bran, baking soda, baking powder, and spices.
2. Mix 3/4 c brown sugar, applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla in a large bowl.
3. Add flour mixture and mix quickly.
4. Fold in 3/4 cup granola, raisins, and apples.
5. Spray muffin pans with nonstick spray.
6. Fill muffin pans 3/4 full with batter.
7. Sprinkle a small amount of brown sugar and granola on top of each muffin, pressing gently into batter.
8. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Cool 5 minutes in pan; remove from pan and finish cooling on rack.
