Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cottage cheese, blended
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup dried apricot, diced
2 cups all-bran cereal or 2 cups Special K cereal
2 cups flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pam cooking spray

Steps:

In medium bowl mix the wet ingredients together. Set aside.
In large mixing bowl mix the dry ingredients together.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry. Fold in gently.
Add the vanilla and fold in gently.
Preheat oven 375°F.
Spray Pam in glass baking pan or bread pan.
Gently pour and spread into pan.
You can spray Pam in muffin pans and fill 1/2 to 3/4 full.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until top springs back when pressed with a finger tip ans sides start pull away from pan.
Muffins have shorter baking time, when top start to turn brown and the tops springs back when pressed with a finger tip. Do not overbake muffin, they will be chewy.
Note: I prefer to use Special K Cereal, your choice. I have never used the Special K Cereal with the Strawberries in it but I think you could use it along with the apricots.
