That "healthy" bran muffin you buy on the way to work may have as many as 500 calories and 25 grams of at. Bake up a dozen of these instead. As a variation, try substituting a cup of mashed-fruit baby food for the bananas.
Ingredients: 2 cups oat brand cereal (such as Mother's Hot oat Bran Cereal) 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup cake flour 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup firmly packed brown 1/2 cup sugar 1 cup raisin 1 3/4 cups nonfat buttermilk 1 cup mashed overripe bananas 1/2 cup egg substitute (or 2 eggs, beaten) 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup egg substitute (or 1 whole egg and 1 egg white, beaten) 1/4 cup canola oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract vegetable cooking spray
Method: Preheat oven to 400o. Combine oat bran cereal, whole wheat flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl; stir in sugar and raisins, mixing well.
Combine buttermilk, banana, egg substitute, oil, and vanilla; mix until smooth. Add to dry ingredients, stirring until moistened. Spoon evenly into muffin pans coated with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Note: For Pumpkin Spice Bran Muffins, substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon and canned mashed pumpkin for banana.
