Cranberry Bran Flax Seed Muffins

• 1 1/2 cups bran flakes cereal, slightly crushed
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda(R))
• 1/2 cup ground flax seed
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 egg whites
• 1 cup 1% buttermilk
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 (6 ounce) package dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons whole flax seeds

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
2. Combine crushed bran flakes, whole wheat flour, sucralose, ground flax seed, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the middle of the mixture.
3. Whisk egg whites together lightly in a bowl until foamy. Mix in buttermilk, honey, and applesauce. Pour mixture into the well and blend batter until just moistened. Fold in cranberries.
4. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full with batter; sprinkle tops with whole flax seeds.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
