Bran Muffin Recipe

When you are in need of fiber, bran muffins are always a great choice. They're easy and quick to make. Here is the basic recipe given in a great book I found at a Kauai bookstore called Kathy Cooks Naturally by Kathy Hoshijo. Thick book full of great recipes that are healthy and most of them are easy to make. Although, some recipes include tropical fruits, you may be able to supplement with fruit grown here in the mainland. This book is no longer in print but if you ever find a copy, I recommend picking it up.

Basic Bran Recipe

1 Cup Bran

1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour

2 tsp. Baking Powder

1/4 Cup Honey

1 Cup Milk

Combine first 3 ingredients. Mix in last two. Pour onto oiled muffin tins and bake 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

This recipe doesn't make a lot, so if you want more than 12 full size muffins you may need to double the recipe. I also like to include fruit such as blueberries, gives it some flavor. It's always nice to top it off with some local honey.
