OVERTHETOP MUFFINS

Here is the first of my recipes.
Overthetop Muffins
1 cup all bran or 100% bran cereal
1 cup wheat bran
1 1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt---sometimes I use flavour yogurt with no sugar added
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar splenda
1/2 cup splenda
1 TBSP baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg (omega 3 if possible)
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup of chopped walnuts
1 cup of dried cranberries
Heat oven to 375' F.
1: Combine cereal and wheat bran in a bowl, stir in the yogurt and let stand for 10 minutes. Add in milk, oil, egg and vanilla.
2: In a separate bowl mix together flour, brown sugar splenda, regular splenda, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add in the walnuts and cranberries.
3: Add the liquid ingredients to the dry mixture and mix until all the dry ingredients have been absorbed. The mixture will be very thick.
4: Spray muffin tins with vegetable spray and scoop large amount of mixture into the twelve muffin cups. Bake for 25 minutes, check them after 20 minutes my oven cooks hot.

It seems like a lot but they will rise up over the top of the cups....thus the name.
I sometimes vary the add in ingredients, yesterday I chopped up a banana instead of the cranberries, sometimes I use frozen blueberries, raspberries or dried cherries, and sometimes I use pecans instead of the walnuts. You can vary the berries and the nuts to your own tastes.
Also I decrease the amount of the wheat bran and add in ground flax seeds or wheat germ.
This is a GI recipe (glycemic index) and one muffin is a serving.
The muffins are high in fibre, and are a very healthy and low fat and low sugar muffin.
I am a diabetic and I eat these after a workout at the gym to give me energy.
