Dee's Mighty Muffins

I got this recipe from a co-worker who is very into health foods. We try to eat healthy and these muffins were packed full of ingredients that are good for your diet: oat bran for fiber, cinnamon to help fight diabetes and walnuts for the vitamin E. This is also a flour free recipe for something a little different.

Dee's Mighty Muffins

Dry Ingredients:
2 cups raw oat bran
2 1/8 tsp baking powder
1 T cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla enriched soymilk or nonfat cow's milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large egg whites
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp liquid stevia extract (or 1/4 cup or so of sugar)

Third Set of Ingredients:
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup raw unfiltered honey

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line muffin pans with paper muffin cups or coat with coconut oil or butter. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together thoroughly with a wire whisk. In a separate mixing bowl combine the wet ingredients with the wire whisk until the mixture becomes somewhat frothy. Slowly add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or use an electric mixer. Fold in the raisins and walnuts. The last step is to add the honey very slowly to the mixture while stirring. The batter should become lighter in texture.

Fill mixture cups and bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees and then lower heat to 350 degrees. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan.

**I substituted 1 cup of blueberries for the raisins. Really good!!
