Recipe - Rise And Shine Muffins

1 cup High fiber bran cereal;
crushed
1 Egg
2/3 cup Skim milk
2 Egg whites
One half cup Crunchy peanut butter
1 Three fourths cup Whole wheat flour
1 cup Coarsely grated apple
1 tablespoon Baking powder
One half cup Coarsely grated zucchini
1 tablespoon Orange peel
One half cup Coarsely grated carrots
2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
2/3 cup Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Lite salt
1 teaspoon Maple extract
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix the bran cereal and milk in a large bowl and let
stand until softened. Fold in the peanut butter, apple, zucchini, carrots,
brown sugar and maple extract until mixed. In a small bowl, beat the egg
and egg whites and then fold into the bran mixture. In a medium bowl,
combine the flour, baking powder, orange peel, cinnamon and salt. Add the
dry ingredients to the bran mixture, but be careful not to overmix. Spray
the cups of a muffin pan with cooking spray. Divide the batter evenly among
the muffin cups. Place a shallow pan of water on the bottom rack of the
oven to prevent the muffins from drying. Place the muffins on the middle
rack and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from muffin
pan and serve. Makes 12 servings of one muffin each.
