Jo's Lemon Bran Muffins


1 cup 100% bran cereal
1 cup buttermilk
2 egg whites
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup molasses
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp oil
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup grated lemon rind
1/2 cup seedless raisins

In a medium-size bowl, combine the bran cereal and buttermilk. Let stand until the cereal is soft,
about 10 minutes. Add lightly beaten egg whites, molasses, oil, lemon juice and vanilla. Use a hand
mixer to combine well. In another medium-size bowl, combine the flour, oat bran and baking powder.
Stir in lemon rind and raisins. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. Use a large spoon to
combine quickly. Don't over mix. Spoon the batter into non-stick muffin cups. Bake at 375F for
about 15 - 20 minutes. Cool the muffins for 10 minutes before serving or freezing.
Makes 12 medium muffins.
