Cranberry-Orange Bran Muffins
rec.food.cooking/Andrea Frankel

Here's a recipe I came up with, which started out as a Weight Watcher's freebie handout but got heavily modified once I got my mitts on it ;@)

Each muffin has about 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp oil in it. I got best results from using some sugar and some OJ, but feel free to play with it if you decide to delete the sugar (you'd probably want to delete the 1/4 cup water and increase the OJ concentrate to 1/2 cup)

9 ounces (weighed) oat bran
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
2 tsp grated orange rind (or about two oranges' worth)
--------
1 cup chopped cranberries
--------
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup Eggbeaters
4 Tbsp safflower oil

Preheat oven to 425.

Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners (warning: these don't want to release unless you do!).

Mix first group together, then mix in cranberries, then mix wet stuff and combine all briefly (usual muffin techniques). Divide batter evenly in lined muffin cups.

Bake about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
