     3/4   c            Whole wheat flour
   1       c            All purpose flour
   1       c            Wheat bran
   1       ts           Baking powder
   1       ts           Baking soda
   1       ts           Cinnamon
     1/3   c            Dates -- chopped
   1                    Egg -- lightly beaten
     1/4   c            Brown sugar -- packed
   2       tb           Vegetable oil
   1       c            Low-fat milk
   1       c            Apple -- peeled, grated

  In a large bowl combine the whole wheat and all purpose flours,
  bran, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir in the dates.
  In another bowl, beat the egg with sugar and oil until well mixed,
  then stir in the milk and apple. Pour into the flour mixture and
  stir just enough to moisten, being careful not to overmix.
  
  Spoon into nonstick or paper-lined medium muffin tins, filling
  almost to the top. Bake at 375 F for about 20 minutes, or until
  firm to the touch.
