2 1/4 c. oat bran cereal
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 c. brown sugar or 1/4 c. honey or molasses
1 1/4 c. skim milk or 1 1/4 c. evaporated skim milk
2 egg whites or egg substitute for 2 eggs
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 c. chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
1/4 c. raisins (or dates, currants, etc.)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the oat bran cereal, nuts, raisins and baking powder. Stir in the brown sugar or liquid sweetener. Mix the milk, egg whites, and oil together and blend in with the oat bran mixture. Line muffin pans with paper baking cups and fill with batter. Bake 15 to 17 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick. It should come out moist but not wet. Makes 12 muffins. Store in plastic bag to retain moisture. Keep in refrigerator.
