Dads Favorite Bran Muffins

(Sugar Free)

My dad had a heart condition, so he always watched what he ate. Whenever I
came into town, he would always lovingly command that I bake him
something. About 80 percent of the time I obeyed. One of these commands
was to bake him some muffins. So I made him up a batch of these Bran
Muffins, and he was quite happy. Although this recipe is similar to other
bran muffin recipes, it is much moister and will remain so for two days.


2 cups All Bran cereal (no substitutions)
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sugar or sugar substitute
2 eggs or equivalent amount of liquid egg substitute
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup or more raisins, walnuts, blueberries or raspberries (optional)

This recipe must be mixed with a rubber spatula, wooden spoon or fork for
the best results. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cover cereal completely
with milk and let the cereal soak up all the milk. (This takes 10 to 15
minutes.) Add the oil, sugar and eggs to the wet bran and mix thoroughly.
Add the remaining ingredients, choice of an addition and gently but
thoroughly mix the batter together. Grease 4-5 large muffin sections or
about 10-12 regular size muffin sections. Fill each muffin section to the
top. Bake 20-35 minutes (depending on the size of muffin sections) or
until an inserted toothpick comes out clean but moist. Add 1 extra egg
when doubling or 2 extra eggs when tripling this recipe.
