Original Recipe Yield 12 muffins
 

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup oat bran
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup low fat sour cream
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 small ripe bananas, mashed
