  3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, bran, almond meal, flax, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt with a wire whisk; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl mix applesauce, coconut oil, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla; beat at medium speed until thick. Scrape down sides of the bowl.

  • Tip 3: Enjoy your muffins with a warm cup of coffee or tea for a cozy snack.
  • Tip 4: Experiment with adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for a different twist.
  • Tip 5: Substitute the flours with a gluten-free blend to make these muffins gluten-free.
