Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/4 cups oat bran
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder (Use only 1 teaspoon in high altitude)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/2 cup raisins or snipped dried fruit (I added a lit of bit of both)

Lightly coat bottoms of 12 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine oat bran, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine egg, applesauce, milk, honey and oil. Add applesauce mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in raisins.

Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Bake in a 400 F oven for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown and a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups. Serve warm.
