Recipe: Create-A-Whole Grain Muffin (Quaker Oats, 1981)

CREATE-A-WHOLE GRAIN MUFFIN

"Create-a-muffin using our suggestions, and then create your own! Add leftover cooked corn for a dinner muffin. Or substitute chocolate milk for whole milk for a flavor twist."

3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup bran cereal (or 3/4 cup unprocessed bran)
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup molasses (or honey or light or dark corn syrup)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup Quaker Oats (Quick or Old Fashioned, uncooked)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, if desired
1/2 cup raisins, blueberries, chopped dates, apple or nuts (optional)

Combine milk and bran cereal in medium-sized bowl. Add egg, oil, molasses and brown sugar; mix well. Add combined remaining ingredients, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill 12 greased or paper-lined medium-sized muffin cups 2/3 full.

Bake in preheated hot oven (400 degrees F) about 15 minutes.

MICROWAVE OVEN DIRECTIONS (makes 18 to 20 muffins): Increase vegetable oil to 1/3 cup. Fill 18 to 20 paper muffin cups 1/2 full; place 6 to 7 filled muffin cups in microwave muffin dish. Cook in microwave oven at HIGH about 1 minute and 45 seconds or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, rotating 1/4 turn after 1 minute of cooking; immediately remove muffins from dish. Repeat with remaining filled muffin cups.
