Mix flour and leavenings in a large bowl. Stir in bran or germ, dates, and nuts. Mix remaining ingredients in another bowl until smooth; add to flour mixture. Stir just to combine. Drop into muffin cups (makes 12 small ones, less more satisfying larger ones).

Non-vegan slightly higher-fat alternative: substitute buttermilk and and egg for the apple juice.
