High fiber breakfast muffins

I've been experimenting with recipes for a high fiber, low calorie breakfast muffin that I can make on the weekend then freeze to take to work each morning.  I'm still tweaking it, but so far this isn't bad:

High Fiber Breakfast Muffins

1.5 cups whole wheat flour
1.5 cups Fiber One bran
2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup (about 2 snack pouches) organic apple sauce
1/2 cup 2% milk
4 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup shelled pumpkin seeds
1 cup frozen raspberries
2/3 cups chopped dried figs
optional: 1 tsp each ground ginger or cinnamon

Mix everything together.  Line cupcake tins with cupcake liners.  Fill each to the top; the muffins won't rise much. Should make about 20 portions.  Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes.
