Bran Muffins

Bran muffins make breakfast better when they're homemade!

Looking for a simple breakfast option? Skip past store-bought bran muffins. While they may seem like a healthy choice, most of the muffins you'll find at the grocery store are loaded with sugar, fat, and calories. This recipe, which uses a whole cup of bran cereal, provides a healthy dose of fiber, which means a more mild effect on your blood sugar.

You Will Need
1 cup bran cereal (such as All-Bran or Fiber One)
1 ½ cups mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons dark molasses
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 egg whites or 1 whole egg or 1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
2/3 cup blueberries or 1/4 cup Craisins and 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

What to Do
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray two 12-cup muffin pans with cooking spray or insert paper liners.

2. Combine the cereal, banana, and milk in a large bowl. Let stand for about 5 minutes.

3. Add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, honey, molasses, cinnamon, egg whites, and blueberries and stir until combined. Spoon the batter into the pans and bake for 20 minutes.
