Ingredients

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 c. unsweetened applesauce
2 oz. dates
1 c. wheat bran
1/2 c. low-fat buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat 2 mini-muffin tins with cooking spray. Place applesauce and dates in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is reduced to 1 1/4 cups, 15 to 20 minutes. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and let cool completely.

Let cool completely in pans on wire racks. (Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
