Cardamom Lemon-Peel Muffins

 

Vegetable oil spray

2 1/2 cups oat bran, uncooked

2 cups whole-wheat flour

1 tsp ground cardamom

2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 baking soda

2 cups unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup honey

4 large egg whites

1/4 tsp almond extract

Grated rind of 1 lemon

 

Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray two muffin tins with

vegetable oil spray or use paper muffin cups. In a

medium bowl, combine bran, flour, cardamom, baking

powder and baking soda. Mix well.

In a large bowl, combine applesauce, oil, honey, egg

whites, almond extract and lemon peel. Mix well.

Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Mix well,

but do not overmix. Fill prepared muffin cups almost

full.

Place in oven and reduce heat to 375 F. Bake 20

minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

If you prefer lighter muffins, use 1 cup of white

flour to replace 1 cup of the whole-wheat flour.
