Today I Juiced . . . Now What Do I Do With The Mash?

I bought some very small grapes from Costco because they looked so cute . . . little did I know what a pain in the butt they would be to eat so I juiced them. Here's what I did with the mash:

Mashup Bran Muffins
2 large eggs
1/4 cup liquid honey
1 - 1 1/2 cups mash (I juiced black corinth grapes)
1 cup buttermilk (or add 1 tbsp of lemon juice to a 1 cup measure and fill with milk, let stand)
1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped nuts of choice, optional (I used flax seeds)

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or line with muffin papers.
2. Whisk eggs, honey and mash in a medium bowl until smooth; add buttermilk, wheat bran, oil and vanilla.
3. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients; add the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in nuts, if using. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (they’ll be quite full).
4. Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown and spring back when touched lightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen edges and turn muffins out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. For a special treat fill muffin cups half full of batter and then place a 1/2 tsp. of your favourite jam in each cup before filling with batter - bake as above.
Makes 21 muffins.

This morning I juiced 3 apples (peeled and cored), 1 orange (peel and pith removed), 1 cup mixed berries (blueberry, strawberry, cherry) and a large cucumber (peeled). With the mash I made breakfast bars for my family:

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Breakfast bar base -

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 large egg
Directions
1. preheat oven to 350º degrees
2. combine mash, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Simmer, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
3. combine oats, flour, sugar, walnuts and cinnamon in a food processor; process until oats and walnuts are finely ground. Add oil and egg; stir to combine.
