Fiber Cake Muffins

Try these homemade fiber cakes — similar to those at TJs, only better and less costly.  You won’t feel hungry after eating one, and you get the fiber you need for under 100 calories.

 

 

2 cups wheat bran
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 egg
1 cup apple juice
2 tsp honey
6 dried prunes, cut into small pieces
1 cup blueberries

Pre-heat oven to 400. Mix dry ingredients (save prunes & blueberries until end), then mix and add wet ingredients. Stir until incorporated, then add prunes and blueberries and fold in. Spoon mixture into muffin tin lined with paper cups — resulting muffin will not rise appreciably & retains same profile. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.  Refrigerate or freeze (recommendation:  microwave before eating to bring out the flavor and texture). Makes about 8 muffins.
