My mother in law is on a low sodium, high fibre diet and so I wanted to create a great muffin for her to snack on. After a few tries, this one hit the mark - they don't last long in our house! Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened |
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed |
1/4 cup molasses |
2 eggs |
1 cup milk |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/4 cup fiber one cereal (or any high fibre cereal) |
1 1/2 cups wheat bran |
1 1/2 tablespoons ground flax seed |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon clove |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) |
1/4 cup pecans, chopped |
1/2 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and brown sugar.
2. Add molasses and eggs and beat well.
3. Add milk, bran, flaxseed and cereal.
4. Combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves.
5. Add to liquid ingredients.
6. Add fruit and nuts.
7. Spoon into prepared muffin tins 2/3 full.
8. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes.
9. Makes 16 average sized muffins.
