Check out Jeanine's recipe comments...

 

ingredients:
1 16-ounce can pears, drained and diced
3/4 cup apple juice concentrate
1 1/2 Tablespoons vanilla
3/4 cup unbleached white flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/8 teaspoon lite (or regular) salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup wheat bran
2 1/2 Tablespoons canola oil or safflower oil
2 egg whites or 1/3 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup currants plumped (or raisins, if currants unavailable)

instructions:
Combine apple juice concentrate and vanilla. Soak chopped pears in this mixture while preparing the remaining ingredients.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, mix together dry ingredients: flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bran.

Add oil, lightly beaten egg whites, and plumped currants to the pear mixture, and gently stir. Pour this over the dry ingredients, and mix with a fork, just until moistened.

Fill muffin cups 3/4 full, and bake at 350 degrees for 13 to 18 minutes. They're done when they spring back to the touch or when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool 10-15 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
