1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup low-fat buttermilk

1/2 cup sugar (I use half Splenda and half sugar.)

1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup finely chopped dried apricot
all-bran cereal, for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the 1-1/2 cup cereal and boiling water in a medium bowl; blend well and allow to cool.
  • Add buttermilk, oil and egg; blending well.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in medium bowl; stir in cereal mixture, mini chips and chopped apricots.
  • Stir until moistened.
  • Spray six 5- to 6-oz custard cups with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Fill each cup half full with batter and sprinkle each with 2 tsp.
  • bran flake cereal.
  • Microwave on high for 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 minutes, turning 1/4 turn at end of each minute, or until wooden toothpick inserted off center comes out clean.
  • Tops will appear moist, let them stand several miutes.
  • Repeat the cooking procedure for remaining batter or place the left over batter in the fridge and store for another day.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour for a healthier muffin.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin tins only about 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Chocolate bran muffins are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect chocolate bran muffins every time.
