Lemon-Orange Muffins

These are really delicious-good-for-you bran muffins...

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour (I use whole wheat flour- this makes the muffins much dryer. But if you still want to be a little healthier and have moist muffins, try using 1 cup all purpose and 1/4 cup of whole wheat)

1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup Kellogg's All-Bran Original cereal or All-Bran Bran Buds
2/3 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 egg
1/4 cup shortening

Directions:

1. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine All-Bran cereal, milk, orange juice, lemon peel, and lemon juice. Let stand about 2 minutes or until cereal softens. Add egg and shortening. Beat well. Add flour mixture, stirring only until combined. Portion evenly into twelve 2 1/2 inch muffin-pan cups coated with cooking spray.

3. Bake at 400 degrees F about 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Serve warm.

Yield: 12 muffins
