  • 1 cup blueberries (or other berries, fresh or frozen)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375F; prepare muffin pans by spraying tin with fat-free non-stick spray (do not use paper liners as the muffins won't rise as much).
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, beat eggs; beat in milk, oil, applesauce, molasses, sugar, Splenda cinnamon and vanilla.
  3. 3
    Stir in bran; let stand for 5 minutes.
  4. 4
    In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; stir in berries.
  5. 5
    Add to egg mixture, folding with a spatula just until combined; do not overmix.
  6. 6
    Spoon into paper-lined muffin cups, filling right to the top.
  7. 7
    Bake in preheated oven for approximately 22 minutes, or until muffins are firm to the touch; do not overbake or muffins will be dry and tough.
  8. 8
    Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack.
