  • 1/4 cup unprocessed bran
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1/2 cup milk

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix together both brans with 1/4 cup boiling water in a large bowl. Let cool. In a small bowl, combine oil, honey, molasses, milk, and egg, then stir into bran mixture. Add flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and dried fruit and stir until just combined.
