Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Oat Bran
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Nutmeg
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar, Packed
1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
3 Egg Whites
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Canned Pumpkin
3/4 Cup Lowfat Granola
1/2 Cup Raisins
1 Cup Apples -- Chopped

Coat a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line the cups with paper baking
cups. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, wisk the flour, bran, baking soda, baking powder,
cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, mix the sugar, applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla.
Stir in the pumpkin. Add the flour mixture and mix quickly. Fold in the
granola, raisins and apples.
Fill the muffin cups three-quarters full. Sprinkle a small amount of
brown sugar and granola onto the top of each muffin, pressing the toppings
slightly into the batter. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in
the center of a muffin comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire
rack for 5 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and put them on the
rack to finish cooling.
