  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ginger

Method

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, bran, baking powder, soda, & spices; set aside. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until almost frothy; add applesauce, oil, pumpkin, and honey. Slowly pour into flour mixture, and fold until just blended (do not over beat!). Pour into nonstick muffin cups or nonstick-sprayed muffin tins. Bake about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove muffins from the oven, and let cool slightly in pans. Remove from the pan, and let cool completely--if you can!
