Heart Health Muffins
2 1/4 cups oat bran (or 1 cup oat bran and 1 1/4 oatmeal)
1/4 cup ground flax seed (optional)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 Craisins (or raisins or other dried fruit)
2 egg whites
2 cups apple sauce (or 1 1/2 cups skim milk)

Preheat oven to 400 deg f.. Put baking cup (the little paper things) in the muffin tin. Combine the dry ingredients then add the remaining ingredients. Stir until everything is blended. Be sure to use a spatula to get the oat bran off the bottom and well incorporated. Use a large spoon to fill the muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake for 10-12 minutes

These don’t rise much and don’t brown when they are done. To check touch the top, they should be fairly firm.
