2 1/4 c. oat-bran cereal
1/4 c. chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or even peanuts)
1/4 c. raisins (or dates, currants, or whatever)
1 tbsp. baking powder (not baking soda)
1/4 c. brown sugar or 1/4 c. honey or molasses
1 1/4 c. skim milk or evaporated skim milk
2 egg whites or egg substitute for 2 eggs
2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl combine the oat- bran cereal, nuts, raisins and baking powder. Stir in the brown sugar or liquid sweetening. 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.
