Fat- and sugar-free muffins

12 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2cupsOat bran (or any bran; really)
2cupsWhite flour
4teaspoonsBaking powder
1teaspoonBaking soda
1teaspoonCream of tartar (my own addition)
½cupEgg substitute; egg white, or whatever replacement (Ener G)
½cupMolassas
½cupCondensed skim milk
cupUnsweetened apple sauce
1cupFrozen raspberries; thawed only slightly

Directions

From memory, extracted from Graham Kerr's cookbook: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine the dry ingredients, and whisk together (or sift after measuring).

Combine wet ingredients, except for raspberries. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones, and fold gently in for about fifteen strokes. Add raspberries, and fold five more times while keeping the raspberries as whole as possible (avoid crushing). If flour still shows, fold until it is all wet and no longer visible, as little as possible.

Spoon into muffin tins, sprayed *lightly* with cooking spray. Make each cup slightly rounded; these will not rise as much as light muffins made only with flour, and the batter is thick enough that it should not run over the sides and onto the oven floor. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

Remove from the tins, and let cool for five minutes before eating on a rack.
