Better Bran Muffins (from box of Nabisco 100% Bran Cereal)

This was my mother's favorite bran muffin recipe.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
-----------------
1 1/4 cups Nabisco 100% Bran Cereal
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Blend first five ingredients; set aside. Stir together cereal and milk until bran is moistened; let stand 5 minutes. Add egg and oil, beating untril blended. Add flour mixture, stirring just until combined; do not overmix. Fill greased muffin pan cups 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated hot oven (400º F.) about 20 minutes or until done.

Yield: 12-14 regular-sized muffins.
Enjoy!
