These fiber-rich muffins from Sneaky Chef Missy Chase for Kellogg’s All Bran are great for a picnic or to pack for the cottage!

Prep Time: 15 min. | Total Time: 35 minutes | Makes: 12 muffins

What You Need!

1 1/2 cups All-Bran Original* cereal

1 cup milk (1%)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar

4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp each, ground nutmeg and salt

2 eggs

1/4 cup canola oil

3/4 cup chopped, frozen cranberries (do not thaw)

3/4 cup diced McIntosh apple

(not peeled – 1/4”/6mm dice)

Make It!

COMBINE cereal and milk in a medium bowl. Let stand for 2 minutes or until cereal softens.

COMBINE flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in large bowl. Set aside.

ADD eggs and canola oil to cereal mixture; beat well. Add liquid mixture to dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in cranberries and apple. Portion batter evenly into 12 (2 1/2”/6.5 cm) non-stick muffin pan cups, lightly coated with cooking spray.

BAKE in 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched.

Tip: We like the sweetness of McIntosh apples to balance the tanginess of the cranberries in these muffins. If you prefer a more tart combination, choose an apple variety such as Empire or Spy.
