ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-bran cereal
- 1 cup oat bran
- 3⁄4 cup wheat bran
- 1⁄2 cup old fashioned oats (not instant)
- 2 1⁄2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups whole wheat flour

- 1⁄8 cup canola oil
-
Optional Ingredients

directions
- Combine bran cereal, oat bran, wheat bran and oats in a large bowl. Pour in boiling water and stir until moistened.

- Combine whole wheat flour, sugar substitute, baking sida, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
- Mash out lumps in bran mixture. Stir in buttermilk applesauce, egg substitute and oil until smooth.
- Stir in flour mixture and stir until smooth. Batter will be thick and using an electric mixture makes it easier.
- The batter can keep in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks so you can bake muffins as you need them or bake them all at once. The muffins freeze well too.
- Pour into paper lined muffin pan.
- Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Cool muffins 3 minutes.
