Bran Muffins




	1 ½ cup natural bran ¾ cup flour 1 tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. baking powder 1 egg ¾ cup lightly packed brown sugar ¼ cup vegetable or canola oil 1 cup buttermilk 2 tbsp. molasses ½ cup raisins ½ cup dried apricots – sliced


	There is nothing like a bran muffin. They're good for you, they taste good and they become a great fast food when you bake them in double lots and throw them in the freezer. Pull one out and zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds when you are late for work and don't have time for breakfast.

		Preheat Oven To: 375 Yield: 1 dozen muffins

Combine bran, flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Beat egg, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, molasses, raisins, and apricots together thoroughly. Add liquid ingredients all a once to dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups ¾ full. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched.
