Easiest Bran Muffins Ever !!

These are the easiest bran muffins I have ever made and the most healthy because if you start to look at bran cereals at the market they are all chocked full of sugar!! Yes who would have known that a healthy bran cereal we have all been eating like ALLBRAN etc . have sugar in them. I ask how can a healthy bran cereal have sugar added??  Well that led me to the health food store to buy bran and oat bran in the bulk department because it's alot cheaper than the store boxed brand and you have the added benefit of putting in the amount of sugar you require. So here's the recipe and it's so versatile you can change it up for many different muffins. They are now my treat instead of cookies or cakes !!  And they only take about 30 mins from start to finish ! I have found that they must be kept in the refrigerator for freshness.

3 Cups Bran ( I have used 2 cups bran and 1 cup oat bran)
1 Cup Boiling Water
2 Eggs
1/3 Cup good quality Oil (cold pressed oil I use a safflower oil)
1/3 Cup of good quality Honey (alot of store brands are watered down and filled with sugar!)
2 Cups of Soy Milk (any milk works, the original recipe called for buttermilk)
2.5 Cups of Flour (I grind my whole wheat berries so I have all the added goodness)
2tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt ( I only use sea salt)

Mix 1 cup of the bran with 1 cup of boiling water and let sit. Mix up the dry ingredients flour, soda and salt. Add eggs, oil, honey(I am very liberal with the honey and if you put the oil in first then measure out the honey it will come right out of the measuring cup! ) Add this to the dry ingredients and then add your milk.
Now this makes about 2 dozen muffins and  you will bake this off for about 10mins in a 400F oven.

You can add all kinds of different ingredients to these muffins such as raisins my favorite or nuts and blueberries or fresh apple ... the sky is the limit here !!

Here I have Plain with oatmeal on top, Walnut Blueberry and Apple Pecan.
