Miniature Bran Muffin Recipe

We made this bran muffin recipe on Sunday into miniature muffins.  I've been eating one in the morning and one in the evening the past 2 days.  They have helped me to feel a whole lot better after being on an extremely low-carb diet without hardly any fiber to speak of.  Our entire family is in love with these.  Lil' man says they sorta taste like "gingerbread."  

Miniature Bran Muffins

2 oz. All-Bran Extra Fiber cereal
2 oz. Raisin Bran cereal
2/3 c. non-fat dry milk powder
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3 tbsp. brown sugar (We used Splenda brown sugar blend substitute.)
2 tsp. apple pie spice
Pinch of salt
4 tsp. vegetable oil (We used canola.)
2 tsp. vanilla
1 med. banana, mashed (Hint:  We freeze browning bananas in the peel instead of throwing them away, then use them for recipes like this!)
1 c. unsweetened applesauce

 

Mix everything except applesauce together.  Add applesauce and mix until well moistened. Divide evenly into sprayed miniature muffin tins.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.  Makes about 18-20.
