Pumpkin Oat Bran Muffins

I had been looking to make muffins for a couple of days, but Alec had his own plans and never let me. Yesterday he took an awesome nap, so I was able to finally get them made.
 I could not find a recipe for exactly what I was envisioning, so I threw together some ingredients and I ended up with these warm, healthy(ish), and delicious muffins. They are delicious right out of the oven, or even warmed up the next day. Just thought I'd share the recipe in case anyone else wanted to give it a whirl. These muffins are dairy free, soy free, and oil free (can make gluten free if you substitute whole wheat flour with coconut flour) - just a heads up!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line muffin tin or spray with cooking spray (I used liners because I was trying to avoid oils and dairy). 
1-1/2 cups of oat bran 
1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Combine these ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Set aside. 

2 egg whites
1 cup pumpkin
1/2 cup of rice milk
2 tablespoons of unsweetened apple sauce
Whisk these ingredients in a small bowl. Once well mixed, stir into the dry ingredients. Once all ingredients were well combined, I added about 1/2 cup of organic dried currants. 

Fill muffin tins, and bake at 20(ish) minutes. 
This exact recipe made 12 regular sized muffins.
