CINNAMON BRAN DOLLAR CAKES
Source: Sunset Magazine

2 cups each 100 percent bran cereal and hot water
1/2 cup each all purpose flour and sugar (perhaps use WW and another sweetener?)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 large eggs (I normally substitute egg replacement in these situations)
About 1 1/2 Tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Syrup of choice
Sliced strawberries

In bowl of an electric mixer, stir together cereal and hot water; let stand a few minutes until liquid is absorbed.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and allspice; set aside.

To cereal, add eggs, 1 Tablespoon oil and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture; beat until smooth.

Lightly rub a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan with remaining oil (use 2 pans for faster cooking), and heat over medium heat.

Add 1 heaping Tablespoon batter for each cake; cook cakes until both sides are browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Keep cakes warm on a rack set on a 10- by 15-inch baking pan in a 250 degree F. oven.

Serve with warm syrup and berries.
