How to Make Applesauce Wheat Germ Muffins

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup wheat germ, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons egg replacer (or 2 large eggs), 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1/2 cup soy milk.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the tops of the muffins.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
