Mighty Muffins

From the kitchen of Engine 2 Diet
 

Ingredients:
3 cups of oat bran (I found this at Winco- super cheap)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
4 tablespoons of sweetener (I used agave, honey works too)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 large apple, grated- I cut it in half, take out seeds and stem and use my cheese grater!
6 slightly browned bananas, lightly mashed- leave some chunks
1/4 cup of walnuts, chopped or halved
1/2 cup of raisins (I omitted these, but you can use any small fruit. I might try blueberries next time)
3/4 cup of water

Directions

1. preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Combine dry ingredients
3. Squeeze the juice of the lemon onto the combined apple and bananas
4. Add walnuts, sweetener, fruit and water
5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients into one bowl
6. Pour into sprayed muffin tins and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown
7. Let cool before removing from tins, store in dry container- they don't last long so eat'em up!


Variations:
Bake batter in loaf pan, and enjoy as slices
Add three thinly sliced pears or 1 cup of 70 percent pure cocoa chips to the batter (I WILL be trying that!)
