Classic Bran Muffins
(Makes 12 muffins)
I used to make this recipe using wheat bran, but it's just as delicious
with oat bran!
These muffins are a tasty way to get some insoluble fiber.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups oat bran
1 cup soy
buttermilk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 Tablespoons canola oil
(or can omit and just increase the applesauce to 1/3 cup)
1/4 cup Egg Beaters (or 2 egg
whites)
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins
1. Preheat oven to 375
degrees.
2. Spray muffin cups with
non-stick cooking spray or line with paper muffin liners.
3. Mix together oat bran and
soy buttermilk; let stand for 10 minutes.
4. Beat together applesauce,
oil, Egg Beaters, sugar and vanilla and add to buttermilk/bran mixture.
5. Sift together flour,
baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
6. Stir flour mixture into
buttermilk mixture, until just blended.
7. Fold in raisins and spoon
batter into prepared muffin tins.
8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes,
or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out
clean.
9. Cool and enjoy!
