Bowl Benefitting Bran 1/1/09

My first batch of the new year. They were made in cleveland, OH. They will probably be the only batch not made in my Athens kitchen. Anyway they turned out pretty darn good.

Word to the wise...don't be alarmed when baking with sunflower seeds...they are supposed to turn bright green after baking.

Bowel Benefiting Bran

1 1/3 cup flour
1 cup wheat bran
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp b.s.
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup of "milk"
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 tbsp ground flax
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds

*Pre Heat oven 350

Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl with a wisk. In a seperate smalled bowl stir together all of the wet ingredients. Add the wet stuff to the dry stuff. Stir until just mixed, its ok if there are bits of flour, better that than a dense muffin. Fold in sunflower seeds. Spoon into a lined or greased muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
