Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 large egg
4 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium pears, peeled and chopped

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a small bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, whisk the milk, oil, egg, orange zest and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in pears, then egg whites.
Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
