  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat the muffin tins with cooking spray, and set aside. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine. Place buttermilk, applesauce, and vegetable oil in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Stir into flour mixture until well combined. Fold in egg whites.

  • Place 2 heaping tablespoons batter in each muffin tin. Sprinkle with a generous tablespoon of reserved topping; press gently to adhere topping to cake. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before serving.

Cook's Notes

These muffins are best eaten still warm from the oven. If you need to make them a day ahead, store them in an airtight container, and reheat in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes.

I was very skeptical upon putting these in the oven; didn't think the 'lightly beaten' egg whites folded into the batter quite worked like it was supposed to. But, they were quite good, and no one could believe it when I said they were almost fat free. Used fat-free plain yogurt instead of buttermilk. I definitely recommend the candied ginger; gives it a nice kick.

These were really nice! I substitued the candied ginger for some ground ginger and it was fine. Loved the crunchy oats
