i adore baking. the 2 problems i seem to have are:1- not having enough ppl to eat it before it goes bad
2-chris does not like much of what i bake (stubborn swiss, refuses to like canadian baking)
i found the following recipe but tweeted it to my specific qualifications (low fat, cal, sodium and healthy)
result? the best muffin evah! so moist it fell apart, so tasty and sweet. simply amazing
mel's super delightful bran muffin
Ingredients:
1/2 cup raisins
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups bran cereal (such as kellogg's all-bran)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoons melted butter
1 apple, cored and shredded (i used golden delish)
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup honey
Directions:
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper cupcake liners.
Cover raisins with water in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High for 1 minute to plump. Drain the raisins, and set aside. (You can skip this if you want, or if your raisins are tender to begin with.)
Beat the egg with milk in a bowl, and mix in the bran cereal. Let the mixture stand until the cereal absorbs the liquid, about 5 minutes. Gently mix in the plumped raisins, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, melted butter, shredded apple, mashed banana, and honey, and stir a few times to mix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
