OAT BRAN MUFFINS
This is not OATMEAL, but oat BRAN muffins. I have made these for about five years now, and I really love them. They are great made with cinnamon or cranberry applesauce, as well as plain applesauce. My daughter loves them and I hope you will enjoy them, too!

OAT BRAN FRUIT MUFFINS
I recently tried PaulaG's Pumpkin Fruit and Nut Muffins (#116356) and loved the wonderful moistness given to these by the apricots and raisins. So much so, I went looking through my cookbooks for recipes that might capture that same delightful quality. The original comes from "The 250 Best Muffin Recipes" but I've already started tweaking it a bit here. This has been updated since Roosie's review.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180c).
- In one bowl combine all of the dry ingredients - oat bran, oatmeal, fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a second bowl, lightly beat the egg whites by hand. Whisk in the yogurt, oil, applesauce and brown sugar. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just mix. Do not over beat as it will result in a tough lumpy muffin.
- Spoon batter into lightly sprayed muffin tin. (Use paper liners if you prefer.) Bake 33 to 38 minutes, toothpick should be clean.

- Line a muffin pan with paper baking cups.
- Bake 18 to 20 minutes.
- NOTE: It's almost foolproof, but you can test for doneness with a toothpick if you like: they should be moist but not wet.
- To retain moisture, store in a plastic bag.
- They're best served warm; reheating with the microwave works just fine.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and add more moisture to the muffins.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
- Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop.
