Apple & Date Muffins


An easy, yummy and low-calorie muffin, perfect for the whole family's morning tea.

Ingredients
1 cup (35g) All Bran cereal
2/3 cup (160ml) reduced fat milk
3/4 cup (100g) self-raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
3/4 cup (85g) natural oat bran
1/2 cup (120g) chopped dates
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely chopped
1 egg
1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup

Method
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper cases.

Place All Bran into a small bowl and pour over milk. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Sift flour, baking powder and spice together into a bowl. Add oat bran, dates and apple and mix well.

Whisk egg and maple syrup into All Bran and milk mixture. Pour into dry ingredients and mix together quickly using a wooden spoon until just combined. Mixture may be lumpy and does not have to be evenly mixed.

Spoon mixture into paper cases. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
