Postings on a couple of other websites said this recipe is close to the muffins from Jason's Deli.

Makes 12

These are great for breakfast or as an accompaniment to roast meats, poultry or fish.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-bran cereal
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon each cinnamon and ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 egg whites
1 cup milk
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup chopped, pitted dates

Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease 12 regular-size muffin tins.

In a large bowl, stir together flour, bran cereal, brown sugar, baking powder and soda, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the egg whites, milk, molasses and oil, stirring until well mixed.

Add to the flour mixture all at once and stir (don't beat) just until combined. Fold in chopped dates. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full.

Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until brown. Serve warm with butter.
