0.5 Cupbrown sugar
light or dark

1 teaspoonground cinnamon
¼ teaspoonground nutmeg
½ teaspoonbaking soda
2 teaspoonsbaking powder
1 Cupwheat germ
1 cupall-purpose flour

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Step 2
Beat the egg with the oil, applesauce, milk, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Slowly add in the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, wheat germ, all-purpose flour, and whole wheat flour, mixing until just combined and a batter is formed (being careful not to over-mix. A few lumps are ok!)
Step 4
Divide the batter between 12 standard-sized muffin tins.
Step 5
Add a generous sprinkle of turbinado sugar to the top of each muffin.
Step 6
Bake the wheat germ muffins for 15-17 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs on the toothpick are ok).
Step 7
Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
