More healthy muffins

There's no such thing as too many muffin recipes.  These are delicious, great for your digestive tract, easy to make, relatively inexpensive, and low cal!  Where could this go wrong? I've already had two today...

Wheat Muffins

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups plain wheat germ
1 cup nonfat milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix together wheat germ and milk, and let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together applesauce, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla.
  4. Sift in all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Stir in bran mixture until just blended. Fold in blueberries.
  6. Scoop into muffin cups.
  7. Bake in oven for 17 to 20 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped.
Makes 12 muffins, around 125 calories each.

*You can also make these even better for your digestive tract using wheat bran instead of wheat germ (same quantity in recipe); however, wheat bran can be very difficult to find in your typical grocery chain.*
