• 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda

• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 c. buttermilk
• 2 egg whites
• 2 T. cooking oil
• 3/4 c. apple, shredded & peeled

Mix flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg whites and oil; add to dry ingredients. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened; add apple. Spray muffin cups with nonstick coating spray. Put about 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup. Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes (a toothpick inserted near center should come out clean).
