bran muffins

July 7, 2008 · 3 Comments

I am on a super bran muffin kick, for completely unknown reasons. Usually I prefer muffins with treats in them, but these are just delicious as is – and very easy. I also accidentally came in to (read: found at the back of my cupboard) a lot of bran, and I know that I don’t like adding it to cereal, even though it’s probably a good idea in the interest of health.

  • 1 cup bran
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Mix it all together, divide into tins, and bake for half an hour at 350.  These are especially good because they travel well and fill you up – which is ideal if you are trying to spend a lot of time in the library (productivity! air conditioning!) like me.
