I adapted the recipe below from this recipe for Low Cal Apple Bran Muffins. I had ambitions of adding ground flax seeds and protein powder, but got distracted...
Yummytown Muffins
(aka Low Cal Banana Pumpkin Bran Muffins)
1 1/4 cups flour (whole wheat, multi-purpose, enriched, whatever you've got, really...)
1 cup wheat bran (the original recipe said oat bran. but I had wheat bran, so wheat bran it was!)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup 2% milk
6 tablespoons egg whites
2 tablespoons canola oil (or regular vegetable oil)
2 overripe bananas that would make me gag if I ate them straight (I HATE overripe bananas)
1/2 cup (appx) pumpkin puree (that was hanging out in my fridge with nothing better to do)
Mix it.
Pour it (into cupcake tray).
Bake it. 18-20 mins at 375 F.
Love it.

You had me going there for a minute! I thought you were going to sprinkle some of that Folgers Coffee I saw in the picture on top of your muffins :) They look awesome!

Great recipe...those look absolutely amazing and healthy:) I need to give more of my baked goods away...they are just so good though.
I love this! I'm going to follow your recipes... I have the same problem that I LOVE baked goods but not what they do to my body. I'm interested to see all of your adaptations for "healthy baking" :)
The muffins have been providing me breakfast for the past few days, and I'm not sick of them yet! That's a good sign. :)
