Bran Muffins

This is my favorite recipe. Very filling, high in fiber and protein, without any "scoops" of things I don't already have in my pantry. I was actually tweeking it yesterday to add a smidge more calories (I am aiming for 150 each) so I can use them as a small meal or hearty snack. Adjust as you please.

2 cups All-Bran Original Cereal (320 cal/ 40 fiber/ 16 protein/ 4 fat)
1 1/4 cups skim milk (107 cal/ 10 protein/ 1 fat)
1 cup whole wheat flour (400 cal/ 12 fiber/ 16 protein/ 2 fat)
1/2 cup sugar (387 cal)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 egg (70 cal/ 6 protein/ 5 fat)
1/4 cup natural applesauce (25 cal/ 1 fiber )
1/2 cup craisins (195 cal/ 4.5 fiber)
1/2 tsp vanilla
6 Tablespoons sliced almonds (258 cal/ 12 fiber/ 12 protein/ 26 fat)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin tin.
Combine cereal and milk. Set aside to soften for 5 minutes. You could add the craisins at this point too.
Stir together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Add applesauce, egg, and vanilla to cereal/milk. Mix well.
Add flour mix. Stir until combined. Fold in craisins if you didn't add them yet. Fill 12 muffin cups. Top each with 1/2 Tablespoon of almonds.
Bake approx 17 minutes.

For 12 muffins, they end up at 147 calories, 5.8 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fat.

You could adjust parts like fewer or more craisins (or other dried fruit) and cut out the almonds if you don't want them.

Hope this is what you were looking for!

I just made these but with half Splenda half sugar in the raw ... And I replaced the craisins and almonds withfrozen blueberries . I used 35 cal unsweetened almond milk too.
So a few minor changes...


But they turned out Absolutely DELICIOUS!! I've been searching high and low for a bran muffin recipe like this! Thanks for posting! Also... Mine were about 75cal a piece !
