How to Make Pumpkin Oat Bran Bread Or Muffins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup oat bran, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg whites, 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree, and ½ cup unsweetened applesauce.
Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and gently stir until just moistened. Do not overmix.
Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and ½ cup raisins (optional).
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners. Fill each cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For a loaf, use a 9x5 inch loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes.
Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
