If you'd like to make these GLUTEN free you only need to make a few adjustments such as:

REPLACE THESE:
1/2 cup Oat Bran
1/2 cup Wheat Flour
WITH
1/2 cup rice bran OR brown rice flour
1/2 cup other gluten free flour (Quinoa, Bean, Chickpea, Rice of any type, Corn, Tapioca,Amarath,Soy or any of a dozen more GLUTEN FREE FLOURS/STARCHES)
THEN ADD
3/4 teaspoon xanthan or guar gum
===============
that's all it would take to make them gluten free then if you wish you can reduce the calories a little bit by replacing the sugar with splenda or other sweetner and the oil with applesauce (or any puree'd fruit or veggie such as carrots, squash etc.

mmmmmmm i made these yesterday morning and boy are they good!!! I served mine with sugar free syrup but just a touch, I think they'd also be good with one of the fruit spreads that are sugar-free (jelly substitutes) but something mild so not to cover the apple flavor.
