These muffins are wonderful warm, and also makes a great snack. I freeze them, and they are great to grab and go, or defrost in the microwave. For another layer of flavor, soak the raisins in dark rum or brandy a couple of hours before using. Yum!

1 c. Kellogg’s All Bran cereal
1 c. flour
1 ½ t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
½ t. salt

3 egg whites (or 1 egg plus 1 egg white)
¾ c. lowfat or nonfat plain yogurt
1/3 c. unsweetened applesauce
¼ c. light brown sugar
2 T. molasses
¾ c. raisins (soaked in 2 T. dark rum, if desired, for added deliciousness!)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Take muffin pan and spray each cup with nonstick spray.

In large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix.

In another bowl, combine rest of ingredients and whisk (or use fork) until well blended.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix with a fork until batter is blended. Do not over mix.

Spoon batter into muffin cups. Bake about 14 minutes, or until muffins spring back when touched lightly. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove to rack.

You can eat these warm, or freeze for later snacks on the go.
