I modified this recipe from a heart-smart cookbook, and my husband loved it, writes Jennifer Wertz from Council Bluffs, Iowa. The muffins make great on-the-go breakfasts or afterwork snacks, so I bake a batch each week...often replacing cranberries with blueberries.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups bran flakes cereal
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1-1/2 cups dried cranberries
2 tablespoons whole flaxseed
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Whisk the egg, egg whites, buttermilk, honey and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in cranberries.
2. Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or use paperliners; fill two-thirds full. Sprinkle with whole flaxseed. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
