Steps:
- (Krusteaz mixes are on the cake mix aisle, the 15 oz is approx, I do not have a box on hand and just guessed for the recipe).
- 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.
- Drop into muffin tins.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- (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).
ORANGE-CRANBERRY BRAN MUFFINS
This is a recipe from the G.I. Diet book. They are loaded with fibre but taste really nice. Not a light cake like muffin. The cranberries give these muffins a nice little burst of tartness. I didn't have any fresh cranberries so I used dried.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F Line or grease 12 muffin cups and set aside.
- Combine the bran cereal and wheat bran in a large bowl. Stir in the boiling water to moisten and set aside for 5 minutes. Mix in the buttermilk, egg, oil, sugar substitute, orange juice concentrate, orange zest and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, flaxseed, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Stir in the cranberries. Stir into the bran mixture until just moistened.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cook in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove to cook slightly before serving.
- Storage: The muffins can be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month. To freeze, wrap each muffin individually, then place them in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container.
Tips:
- To ensure the muffins are moist and flavorful, use fresh oranges and cranberries. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries can be used instead.
- For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter. Alternatively, for a tarter muffin, reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.
- If you don't have bran cereal on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of rolled oats.
- For a crunchy topping, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a mixture of brown sugar and chopped walnuts before baking.
- To prevent the muffins from sticking to the muffin tins, grease the tins with cooking spray or line them with paper liners.
- If you don't have muffin tins, you can also bake the batter in a 9x13 inch baking pan for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
These orange cranberry bran muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast recipe, give these muffins a try!
