Bran Muffins

I've altered the recipe to make it as close as I could to Fuhrman approved, except for the eggs and skim milk; but pace yourself, because Tanner and I ate all 18 muffins in 3 days! That's a lot of fiber, if you know what I mean, and more grains than you should have, but at least they're good for you, right? Tanner kept calling them brownies he liked them so much. 

Cream together 3/4 cup sweetener (we have a bag of Splenda, it can be used in baking) and 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

Add 2 beaten eggs

1 overripe banana

Add: 3 c all bran cereal

Pour 1 cup boiling water over the cereal, egg, sugar mixture and let sit for about 10 minutes to soften cereal. I usually give my  my mixer a few turns just to get all of the cereal wet before I leave it for the 10 minutes.

Add: 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

2 cups skim milk w/ 1 Tb vinegar, let sit 2-3 minutes before adding.

Mix, pour into muffin tin and bake on 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

These are good to have around if you are really tempted, because they are really healthy, as long as you don't eat as many as Tanner and I did. Serve warm with spray butter!
