From Prevention magazine, listed as Cancer Fighters
1½ cups oat
bran
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 cup ground
flaxseed
1 cup wheat
bran
1 tablespoon
baking powder
½ teaspoon
salt
1 cup brown
sugar
1 cup
buttermilk
2 oranges,
quartered & seeded
½ cup canola
oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 ½ cups
golden raisins
nuts
(optional)
- Preheat oven to
375 degrees. Prepare two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners or
spray.
- In large bowl,
combine oat bran, flour, flaxseed, wheat bran, baking powder &
salt. Set aside.
- In food
processor, combine oranges, brown sugar, buttermilk, oil, eggs and
baking soda. Blend well. May need to do in two batches and then
combine them well.
- Pour orange
mixture into dry ingredients. Mix until well-blended. Stir in
raisins and nuts.
- Divide batter
among muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Cool in pans for 5
minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
- Per muffin: 186
calories; 4 gr. Protein; 30 gr. Carbohydrates; 8 gr. Fat; 18 mg.
cholesterol; 3 gr. Fiber; 140 mg. sodium.
- May be frozen
without losing quality.
My Notes:
- If the oranges
(Navel) are large, use two; if they are medium, use three. Cut off
the stem end and the pithy center, but otherwise use the whole
orange as the peel adds lots of flavor and fiber. Look for fresh,
heavy fruit – not a lot of pith and lots of juice.
- I use Hogsden
Mills oat bran and like the texture it gives the muffin.
- Instead of
golden raisins (which are delicious) try Craisins (dried
cranberries) or dried cherries. I like to add nuts – your choice.
