LOW-FAT BLUEBERRY BRAN MUFFINS Recipe

Spray 12 muffin tins with
nonstick cooking spray or line with paper baking cups. Set aside. In a
small bowl, combine bran cereal and buttermilk; allow to soak until
cereal is soft. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking
soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice and sugar; whisk until mixed
thoroughly. Stir together egg whites and applesauce; mix well. Stir
blueberries into flour mixture. Add bran mixture and egg whites to
flour, stirring to combine. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin,
filling completely. (The muffins will lose volume as the blueberries
thaw during baking.) Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven 25 to 30
minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on a rack.
