Bran Muffins

by Febrina Malloy

Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup milk
4 TB vegetable oil (or 1 or 2 TB oil with evaporated milk)
1 cup All Purpose flour (could substitute whole wheat flour- see instructions)
1 cup Nabisco 100% Bran Cereal
2 or 3 TB sugar
3 Tsp (generous) baking powder
¼ Tsp salt

Directions:
1. Soak bran in milk for about 5 minutes.
2. Beat egg and oil with a fork in a bowl or 1 quart measure. Add the soaked bran.
3. Measure dry ingredients onto wax paper and combine well. Add to the wet ingredients and stir in only until flour is moistened. (The mixture will be lumpy.)
4. Grease muffin cups and fill ¾ full.
5. Bake at 400 degrees about 20 minutes until golden brown. (If using whole wheat flour, bake at 370 degrees.) Remove immediately.
