Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-Bran Cereal
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar can be reduced to 2 tablespoons for less sweetness

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tin with liners and spray with nonstick cooking spray. (You must grease the liners or they will stick to the muffins.)
  2. Place cereal and milk in a large bowl and allow to soak while you mix the other ingredients.
  3. Whisk flours, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.
  4. Place egg, applesauce, and oil in the bowl with the cereal and mix. Stir in dry ingredients. Scoop into muffin liners, filling 3/4 of the way full.
  5. Bake for 14-18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before eating. Best eaten within two days or you can freeze them for up to one month. To reheat, microwave for 30-45 seconds.

Notes

These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to one month.
