Try this recipe and let me know how it goes.

Ingredients
1 cup multi-grain hot cereal(or enough finely blended or chopped oatmeal to make 1 cup)
1 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup carrots, shredded or finely chopped(about 2 large)
1 cup apples, peeled and chopped(about 1 large)
2 eggs or
4 egg whites
1/2 cup milk(can be skim, soy, etc.)
1/4 cup vegetable oil or unsweetened applesauce

1/8 teaspoon ginger (optional)
1/4 cup chopped nuts, your choice (optional)
1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Peel and chop apples. Peel and shred or finely chop carrot. Use a mini-food chopper or food processor to speed the process.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add apple, carrot and other wet ingredients.
Mix well! Batter will be quite thick.
Grease muffin pan or muffin cups.
Spoon batter into cups.
Bake for about 20-22 minutes or until muffins are golden brown on the top and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean.
Serve warm with butter, margarine or jam.

This recipe does have baking powder. However, you can use a non aluminum containing baking powder such as Rumford brand. I never really payed attention to what was in baking powder, but I intend to toss mine and try the Rumford brand. I stay as far away from all of the aluminum that I can!

I found this recipe about a month ago and have made them for my husband, for a bakesale, and to bring to a potluck. I am making them again this weekend for a family gathering. I am going to experiment with substituting some apple butter or apple sauce for some of the oil to decrease the fat content though. It is doesn't taste like a typical "healthy" muffin. I don't use refined flour and I am so happy to have found such a wonderful whole wheat baked good.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 cup plain canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup canola oil
2 TB ground flax seed
1 tsp. vanilla
1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
? tsp. baking soda
? tsp. kosher salt
? tsp. cinnamon
? tsp. nutmeg
1/3 cup chocolate chips

Perfect Cinnamon-Sugar* (see below)

Preheat the oven to 350o. Spray a nonstick muffin tin sprayed well with nonstick spray, or line the tin with paper muffin cups and spray the cups with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Put the pumpkin, water, canola oil, ground flax seed, and vanilla in a blender and process on high for at least one minute, until light in color and well-blended. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the pumpkin mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon or large spatula until well-blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and pecans.

Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, distributing evenly to make 12 muffins. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with some Perfect Cinnamon-Sugar.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a cake tested inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then use a spatula to gently lift each muffin from the muffin tin. Finish cooling on a wire rack.

*Perfect Cinnamon-Sugar: Whisk together ? cup sugar with 2 tsp. ground cinnamon and store in a sugar shaker. Use as a sweet sprinkle on porridge, toast, or soy yogurt.

These are tasty and full of flavour

Well, you can make any muffin recipe you have be higher in fiber. My Mom just adds fiber to hers. I think she uses bran? Not too sure, but when she is making anything, she makes them the same, but just adds like 1/4 cup of bran.
