Orange Bran Muffins

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dried apple slices
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup bran cereal
1/2 cup sugar
2-3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg
1/2 cup low fat milk

DIRECTIONS

Combine the raisins, dried apples, and orange juice in a small bowl, and allow soaking for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line 16 muffin tins with paper liners.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, bran cereal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

In another bowl, beat together the cooled melted butter with the egg and milk.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the fruit mixture with the orange juice and the egg mixture. Combine the batter - but do not over mix. This will create a tender muffin. Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tins. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 18 - 20 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick. Remove from oven and cool on a rack.

Yield: 16 muffins
