I haven't actually tried exactly this combo, but I'm pretty positive it will be good. I needed to write it down somewhere so I could remember how I wanted to make it. :)

so I made these last night... with several substitutions. but they were a little dense, which I didn't expect even with the subs. did you try them yet? how did they turn out?
I'm so sorry! I have made this recipe except that the original calls for 1/4 cup honey instead of the 2 TBSP applesauce & 2 TBSP blue agave. I have subbeded all of the honey for blue agave with no problems. They're not huge & fluffy, but I wouldn't call them dense. Maybe a touch more dense than cake. ??? What sub's did you do?
I think I used more like 1/4 cup applesauce and 2 TBSP oil. The original recipe calls for 1/4 cup veg oil.

The oat bran and whole wheat flours do make a much more dense muffin than all purpose white four would.
well, i had to use only regular flour. And the oat bran-oat mix I found probably had more oats than bran. I don't know where to find almond milk here, so I just used regular. And I didn't have quite enough applesauce. But I'll still try again... Thanks for the recipe.
