Afterschool muffins

THese are super wonderful muffins, they are really pretty healthy and easy to make.

Afterschool Muffins (from Raisin Bran)

1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon- mix together to sprinkle on top of muffins

1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder

3 cups raisin bran
1 1/4 cup milk
1 egg*
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup chocolate chips

mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder- set aside

in large bowl mix raisin bran and milk- let sit for a min until cereal softens.
add egg, oil and choc chips, mix well.
add flour mixture until just combined

these make great mini muffins too but the recipe says 12 muffin cups coated with non-stick spray but I always end up with more so plan on either 1 and half batches of big muffines or 1 tray of big and 1 tray of mini.

My MIL just told me the greatest egg substitute too- mix 1 tablespoon flax seed meal with 3 tablespoons water and let sit a min. - makes the sub for one egg. (I tried it in some bread today and it worked great) Gives you some extra fiber and no cholesterol!
