Basic Vegan Bran Muffins with Chocolate Chips

Mix together:

• 1 cup wheat bran

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Then mix together (in a different bowl):

• 1 cup almond milk

• 3/4 cup applesauce (make your own by chopping up and cooking down 2 apples then blending them in a blender)

• 1/2 cup molasses (or honey if you’re not vegan)

• 2 tablespoons oil

• 2 eggs worth of egg substitute

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones – mix together. Then add:

• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or not)

Bake at 400º in greased muffin tins for 15-20 minutes. Insert a clean knife in the center to test for doneness. If it comes out clean it’s baked through and through.
