ORANGE-CRANBERRY BRAN MUFFINS



Orange-Cranberry Bran Muffins image

This is a recipe from the G.I. Diet book. They are loaded with fibre but taste really nice. Not a light cake like muffin. The cranberries give these muffins a nice little burst of tartness. I didn't have any fresh cranberries so I used dried.

2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • Soak the All Bran Cereal in the water for 5 minutes.
  • Spray muffin tins with Pam.
  • Add the baking powder and the muffin mix to the cereal and mix well.
  • Batter will be thick.
  • Drain the can of cranberries and add the berries to the mix.
