Only Bran Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup oat bran
• 1 cup wheat bran
• 1 teaspoon baking soda or baking powder
• 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white (optional)
• salt
• herb

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. 2

   Oil muffin pan. I usually spray each cup with a little bit of basil olive oil.

3. 3

   Mix oat and wheat bran with baking soda/powder. Add salt or herbs to taste for savory muffins.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, mix yogurt and egg. Add an egg white for more moist muffins. Beat together well.

5. 5

   Blend the yogurt mixture into bran mixture.

6. 6

   Spoon into muffin pan.

7. 7

   Bake for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of each muffin. Overbaking can result in dry muffins (which aren't necessarily bad).

8. 8

   Notes: I've added chopped onions and bell peppers, or baked them as a single loaf. Many variations have turned out well. Next time, I'll try a sweet version with orange peel and vanilla extract.
