HEALTHY THREE GRAIN MUFFINS


ingredients

1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. All-Bran
1 c. oatmeal (regular or quick; not instant)
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. skim milk or more
2 egg whites
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. raisins
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. sugar

preparation

Mix whole wheat flour with baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Soak All-Bran and oatmeal with milk. A small amount more of milk may be needed to improve consistency. Mix egg whites, oil and vanilla. Combine all ingredients; stir just enough to moisten. Fold in raisins. Pour batter evenly into muffin pans. Coat muffin pans lightly with vegetable oil spray such as Pam.

Bake at 400° for 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes approximately 12 muffins.

Variation: One half cup of carrots, shredded, or 1/2 cup of drained crushed pineapple or 1/2 cup of pumpkin can also be added for variety.
