Raisin-Bran Muffins 

Ingredients:

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 and 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1 cup sugar
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups raisin-bran cereal
2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
egg plus 2 whites

Instructions:

A cinch to bake, these homemade muffins are much healthier than store-bought,
and they freeze beautifully. To defrost, just pop in the microwave on high for
30 seconds.


1. Heat oven to 425F. Coat 24 muffin-tin cups with cooking spray. In a large
mixing bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix in cereal.

2. In medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, maple syrup, egg, and egg
whites. Pour into dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

3. Spoon 1/4-cup batter into each prepared muffin cup. Bake 15 minutes, or until
toothpick inserted into center of muffins comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack
to cool, or enjoy while still warm from the oven.
