Ingredients
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour1 cup wheat bran1 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp. baking powder1/4 tsp. salt1/4 cup chopped pecans1 cup dried apricots, chopped coarsely4 egg whites1/8 cup grapeseed oil1/3 cup dark molasses1 cup nonfat buttermilk3/4 cup apricot jam
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick baking spray.
Measure the dry ingredients (flour, bran, baking soda, baking powder & salt) into a large bowl, stir until mixed well.
Stir in pecans and dried apricots, into the flour mixture; this coats them with flour to help keep from sinking during baking.
Make a well in center of dry mix; pour egg whites, oil, molasses, buttermilk & jam into well. Stir together these "wet" ingredients; then very gently fold into dry ingredients until just barely mixed.
Scoop with a measuring cup or large spoon into muffin tin; the mix will come almost to top edge of pan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or just until golden brown and the muffins will slide out of pan.
Serving Size: Makes 12 muffins
