Low Calorie Vegetarian

Ingredients

No stick cooking spray

1 cup bran

1 cup all-purpose flour

1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup nonfat plain yogurt

½ cup brown sugar

1/3 cup low-cholesterol egg substitute

1/3 cup applesauce

2 tablespoons molasses

¾ cup (3oz.) chopped California walnuts

1 cup frozen blueberries

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Spray standard muffin tins with no-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl place the bran, flour baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Stir and toss the ingredients with a fork to combine thoroughly.
In another bowl beat together the yogurt, brown sugar, egg substitute, applesauce, molasses and walnuts.
Add to the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until the batter is blended, about 20 seconds.
Quickly stir in the blueberries.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake about 15 minutes, until the tops are golden and the muffins spring back when touched gently.
Cool about 5 minutes in the pan, then remove.
