Method

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put 12 paper cupcake liners in a cupcake pan and set aside. Combine brown sugar and butter in a medium mixing bowl and beat with a mixer at medium high speed until creamed, about 5 minutes. Add egg; mix until blended well. Add egg white mix until well blended. Add milk, applesauce, molasses, vanilla, and orange zest then mix on low speed until combined. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, bran, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix with a spoon until well combined. Add milk mixture; stir by hand just until moist; gently fold in Craisins. Using an ice cream scoop, spoon batter in cupcake liners and bake about 18 minutes or until done. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
