This recipe is very flexible. Sometimes, if I have oat bran hiding in my cupboards, I will use that in place of some of the bran. This makes up a large batch that can sit in the fridge for up to a month or bake up and freeze. I have a 6 muffin tin that I will make up fresh muffins in the morning, using my toaster oven. You could use applesauce in place of some of the vegetable oil to lower the calories.
Ingredients:
3 cups natural bran
3 cups all-bran cereal
2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups buttermilk
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup molasses
4 eggs, beaten
5 cups flour
5 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups raisins (blueberries, nuts, dates or a combination of)
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the bran, cereal, boiling water and let sit for 30 minutes.
2. Combine the sugar, buttermilk vegetable oil, molasses, eggs in another bowl.
3. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and the raisins. Add the bran and cereal; stirring well to combine.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the flour mixture.
5. Bake in a 375°F oven for 25 minutes or until cooked.
