Ingredients

2 c bran (bran cereal, bran germ…whatever)

1½ c nonfat yogurt (flavour of your choice…we like Yoplait fat free Vanilla)

3 c flour*

3 T baking powder

1 t baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 1/2 c Splenda® (or regular, lightly packed brown sugar)

2 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, diced or shredded)

½ c whole, raw cashews (or any other nut you prefer)

½ c whole, raw sunflower seeds

1 c raisins

½ c unsweetened cranberries

2 eggs (or 3 egg whites)

¼ c olive oil

1¾ c 1% (or skim) milk

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first two ingredients and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the next 10 (dry ingredients) and mix thoroughly

Beat together the final 3 ingredients in a separate bowl.

Pour liquid over bran mixture. Stir thoroughly without beating.

Quickly pour entire liquid mixture over flour and stir just until moistened. (I use a spatula and a “down-up-and-over motion).

Fill 24 large muffin cups full. Bake for 20 minutes, checking for doneness before removing from oven. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tins and allow to cool completely before storing. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 5 days.

** I mix white flour with equal parts wheat germ and seven grain cereal for these muffins.

P.S. These are great as giant muffins (bake in 8 [or so] small meat pie shells)

We all eat these muffins as our coffee time snack or at night before bed. Unlike other "good for you" stuff, these don't TASTE like health food - they're a yummy, filling treat.
