Oat Bran & Blueberry Muffins

From:  Elizabeth H Mueller 

I am going to give you the original version of each recipe, followed with ()around the substitutions that I make.

2 c. oat bran (1 1/4 c. oat bran, 3/4 physillum husks)
1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar (equiv. of Sweet N Low brown sugar sub)
2 t baking soda
1 c. low-fat plain yogurt (silken tofu diluted with water, 1 c.)
2 egg whites, slightly beaten
1/4 c. skim milk (1/4 c. no sugar added soy milk)
1/4 c. honey (equiv. of Sweet n Low)
2 T. vegetable oil (2 T. unsweetened applesauce)
1 t. grated lemon peel
1/2 c. fresh or frozen blueberries

Heat oven to 425. Line 12 medium muffin cups with paper baking cups. Combine dry ingredients. Combine remaining ingredients except blueberries and add to dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened and add blueberries. Fill each cup 3/4 full. Bake 18-20 minutes or until tops are golden. These muffins are *very* dense because they don't rise. I freeze them and defrost when I need one. Don't expect these to be like those yummy blueberry muffins you can get at the bakery! I calculated each muffin to have a carb count (subtracting fiber from carbs) of 9.

Zucchini Bread

From:  Elizabeth H Mueller

I am going to give you the original version of each recipe, followed with ()around the substitutions that I make.

1 1/3 whole wheat flour (1 1/3 c spelt flour)
2/3 c. oat bran
1/2 c. sugar (I left this out by mistake, but liked it anyway)
1 T. nonfat dry milk
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. cinnamon
3 large egg whites
1 c. buttermilk (see NOTE)
1 medium zucchini, shredded (about 1 1/2 c.)

Heat oven to 425. Lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan or two mini loaf pans.(I used a small bundt cake pan and baked it a shorter amount of time). Whisk together dry ingredients. Mix together wet ingredients,*including*zucchini. Stir wet ingredients into dry until just moistened, about 30seconds. Pour into pan(s). Bake for approx. 40 minutes or until done.

Let cool in pan on a rack for 15 min. Remove from pan and let cool completely. Store in freezer bag in fridge or freeze (I left mine out and it went rancid in one day!).

NOTE: If you don't want to buy buttermilk, you can make it by putting 1 T lemon juice in a measuring cup and adding milk (I used skim) and letting it sit for 5 minutes (stir before using).

I made this today as muffins - baked them at 350 for 25 min. I also made the spinach muffins and substituted 1 c. TVP and 1 c. shredded zucchini for the artichoke hearts. They are good, but they don't rise at all. They need to bake longer than 25 minutes - maybe 35.

Charles' Muffins

Here are my muffins and no! Please don't use 1/2 cup of sweet and low or you'll be like those rats they used back in the 70's to test saccharin! You could use 1/2 cup of real sugar if you wanted to. I used about ¼ cup of fructose the first time I made them and made up the difference with Sugar Twin brown and Splenda (all of which measure just like sugar).Fructose is 1/3 sweeter than sugar, so my muffins were pretty sweet

That first time....I like them!
