Make this batter early in the week, then scoop and cook a muffin every day for a healthy breakfast in a flash. Ingredients:
3/4 cup bran cereal (flakes or another shape) |
1/4 cup unprocessed bran |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 tablespoon molasses |
1/2 cup milk |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 cup dried fruit such as raisins, cherries, or cranberries |
cooking-oil spray |
Directions:
1. Mix together both brans with 1/4 cup boiling water in a large bowl. Let cool. In a small bowl, combine oil, honey, molasses, milk, and egg, then stir into bran mixture. Add flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and dried fruit and stir until just combined.
2. Spray a microwave-safe 1/2-cup bowl or ramekin with cooking spray and spoon in 1/4 cup batter. Microwave until muffin springs back when touched but isn't hard, about 45 seconds for a single muffin or 90 seconds for 4 muffins cooked together. Repeat with remaining batter.
3. Make ahead: For batter, up to 4 days, chilled.
4. Note: Nutritional analysis is per muffin.
