Introduction
In an effort to create an oat bran muffin that was edible, yet as low in sugar content as possible, I've invented this recipe. I continue to tweak the ingredients each time I make them and I've list some of the replacement ingredients that can be substituted if desired/necessary.

Ingredients
-
Oat Bran, 3.5 cup
Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat,100% Stone Ground Flour, 1.5 cup
Jillian Michaels Whey Protein, Triple Chocolate Shake flavor, 3 scoop servings (scoop is included in the container)
Baking Powder, 3 Tbsp
Cinnamon, ground, 2 Tbsp
* Splenda/artificial Sweetener, if desired, can be added for a sweeter muffin. Add to taste according to package instructions. *
Sugar Free Hershey's Chocolate Chips, .5 cup
Vanilla Extract, 2 Tbsp
Great Value Cinnamon Applesauce, 2 cup (Crushed, canned, mandarin oranges can be substituted - save the juice to mix with the canned Milk/replace the Water)
Milk, canned, evaporated, nonfat, .5 cup (Skim Milk can be substituted; if so, added water isn't needed)
Water, .5 cup
Grade A Extra Large White Eggs, 4 serving (For a lower cholesterol version, the White only of the eggs can be used)
Great Value Pure Maple Syrup, 0.25 cup
Canola Oil Spray
Muffin Tins/Cups
Directions
Heat Oven @ 350* in a regular-sized oven; adjust accordingly to your kitchen appliance. Baking time varies between 13 - 15 minutes, to be ck'd at 13 min.
* Spray muffin tins/cups with a good coating of Canola Oil due to there not being any oils in the mix and the muffins will stick to the tin/cups without it. *
Mix DRY ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Set aside. In another med/lg mixing bowl, blend all remaining LIQUID ingredients. When both combinations are mixed thoroughly, blend them together and mix well. Fill muffin tins/cups 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 13 - 15 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cool. Refrigerate/freeze.
These muffins respond well to just a few seconds of warming in the microwave to soften the chocolate chips if they're storerd in the refrigerator. These muffins can be used as a Breakfast meal with a cup of tea/coffee/glass of Skim milk or as a Brunch/Snack food item. Prepared as written, the muffins aren't a sweet treat; however, Splenda/artificial sweetener can be added to the Recipe with great results. I'm unable to use artificial sweeteners; thus, I have no clue how much should be added to the recipe?
