Peggy Reed of Vergennes, Vermont says her granddaughter Kelsey has always loved cooking. At age 4, Kelsey entered Bran Muffins in a baking contest. "The recipe Kelsey used is great for kids. The ingredients are measured in whole amounts," Peggy explains. "It makes a lot of batter, but it can be stored in the refrigerator so the muffins can be made in batches." By the way, Peggy also entered muffins in the contest, competing against Kelsey. Kelsey won the blue ribbon and Grandma came in second place!

3 cups all-bran cereal
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 (15 ounce) box krusteaz fat-free orange cranberry muffin mix

  • Soak the All Bran Cereal in the water for 5 minutes.
  • Spray muffin tins with Pam.
  • Add the baking powder and the muffin mix to the cereal and mix well.
  • Batter will be thick.
  • Drain the can of cranberries and add the berries to the mix.

  • (Use ONLY the FAT FREE Krusteaz mixes with this recipe- for some reason the regular mixes dont taste as well- they have the orange cranberry, Apple Cinnamon and Blueberry- the blueberry is just as good as the orange cranberry, I have not tried apple cinnam).

EASY FRUITY BRAN MUFFINS



Easy Fruity Bran Muffins image

These are my quick fix bran muffins. A little bit different from the wealth of bran muffins aready posted. These a light sweetness from the molasses and syrup that is nicely accented by the fruit. You can use any dried fruit you like in any 1/2 cup combination. My favorite is equal parts currants, apricots and plums (not prunes). Cranberries and apricots work well, or dates and raisins, or... You get the idea.
