Answer 3

This is fairly healthy, and a favorite with my in-laws. Since I need all the help I can get with them, I make these often! (haha!)
You can play with the spices, of course, depending on what you like. Hope you enjoy.

Spicy Orange/Carrot/Bran Muffins (makes 12)

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup natural bran
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup black currants
1 Tbsp grated orange peel
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil (I use Jarrow's Organic Coconut Oil. It does NOT taste like coconut. Has a very neutral flavor. If you buy the VIRGIN coconut oil, it has a coconut taste.)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
*optional...add 1/2 cup chopped nuts

1. Blend together in large bowl flour, bran, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, carrots, currants or raisins and orange peel. Stir in chopped nuts, if using.
2. In second bowl, beat buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla.
3. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.
4. Spoon into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups.
5. Bake at 375 F for 20 min. or until done.
Make sure to use an oven thermometer, because ovens often don't register correct temperatures.

Answer 4

I tried these yesterday - they were excellent.
All-bran-muffins recipe
1 cup wheat flour (white or whole wheat )
¼ cup wheat germ (or oatmeal or flour)
1/3 cup sugar (box calls for 1/2 cup if you like them VERY sweet)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 cups All Bran with Extra Fibre cereal
1 1/4 cups milk
2 egg whites (or 1 egg)
1/2 cup mashed banana or ½ cup applesauce
2 TAB veg oil (optional)

1) Stir together dry ingredients (except cereal), set aside.
2) In large mixing bowl, combine cereal with milk. Let stand 5 minutes until cereal softens. Add egg and mashed banana or applesauce, mix well. Add flour mixture, stirring only til moistened. Spoon into 11 muffin cups sprayed with Pam, etc. (or make 12 , but I like them bigger)
3) Bake at 400 F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Ideas: Add ½ cup chopped walnut
Add ¾ cups blueberries.
