adapted from Oat-Bran Muffins, Set For Life Cookbook10 days ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! This was by far the easiest birth of my 5 total children. I know it was easier because of eating right (for the most part) and exercise. I didn't do that with my 4 other children. I'm so glad pregnancy is over and I can devote some time to this blog! As I get back in shape, I will do my best to share with you how as well as any good recipes I can conjure, or adapt!
This recipe is my favorite! My sister-in-law teases me that if you want to stay regular then eat these! I agree with her! With only 70 calories per muffin, they are guilt free, in my opinion!
Bran Muffins
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup 100% bran cereal (you can substitute oats)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/2 cup applesauce or 1/4 cup oil
1 egg
3 tablespoons apple juice concentrate
1 1/4 cup whole wheat or spelt flour
1 teaspoons soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pour hot water over cereal, oats and raisins. Let stand while mixing liquid ingredients. Combine raisins, yogurt, oil or applesauce, egg and juice. Stir liquids into bran mixture. Add mixed dry ingredients, and stir just until moistened and blended. Fill non-stick muffin pans.
Yield: 12 large muffins
Enjoy!
