| The Infamous Chocolate Bran Muffins
originally unleashed upon the PSM by Betty 3 cups �All Bran� cereal (or other bran cereal such as �Bran Buds� or �Fiber One� (Fiber One maintains its texture more)) 2 and 1/2 cups water 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 box Betty Crocker Sweet Rewards reduced fat brownie mix (or other reduced fat brownie mix) 1/4 cup chocolate chips Pour water, cereal and baking powder in large bowl, stir and let sit for 5 minutes. Add brownie mix. Mix thoroughly. Stir in Chocolate chips. (do not let it sit longer �muffins will be rubbery!) Fill 24 muffin tins (about half full) and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Put muffins in a Ziploc bag and keep in the freezer. Zap one for about 20 seconds when ready to eat! 1 WW point per muffin 104 cals / 2 grams fat / 5 grams fiber (based on Canadian ingredients. US products may have different fat/cal/fiber values, so that may go up to 2 points depending on your cereal or brownie mix. You can figure it out by adding up the cals, fat and fiber for the entire package of brownies, the same for the number of servings to equal 3 cups of All Bran, and the same for the 1/4cup of chocolate chips �then divide by 24 and you have the point value for each muffin, as well as the fat, cals and fiber for each as well.) TIP!!!! The chocolate chips really make the difference between a bland muffin and a chocolaty treat. Also, in my opinion, the muffins taste MUCH better after they�ve been frozen and warmed in the microwave. Resist eating them fresh from the oven, and the batter may look good, but EEEUUUUUCCCHHHHH!!!!! Also �if you forget to add the chips (or change your mind after baking), you can melt the 1/4 cup of chocolate chips with a � teaspoon of shortening over low heat, and smear it on the top of each muffin. Let them cool and harden before bagging and putting in the freezer. |
