All Bran Muffins Recipe
I have a wonderful recipe to share with you today. It is a variation of the original recipe featured on the Kellogg’s All Bran box of cereal. My mom use to make these for us when I was a little girl, they are a great source of fiber and delicious to eat!
1-¼ cups flour
½ cup brown sugar
1-tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups of All Bran Cereal
1 ¼ cup milk
1 egg
¼ cup vegetable oil (or ¼ cup applesauce)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Raisins (I used mixed dried fruit like blueberries, cranberries etc)
Nuts
To begin, place the cereal in a bowl, cover with milk and let stand while you assemble the other ingredients. Combine the rest of the ingredients except the raisins and nuts. Stir in the cereal mixture. Once all the mixture is moist add the fruit and nuts. You’ll notice I didn’t specify amounts on the fruit and that’s because I mix in what looks good to me (most recipes call for 1 cup but I find that sometimes that’s too much fruit) also it greatly depends on what I have on hand.
Place in a greased muffin tin (or use the handy muffin papers to save on washing difficulties)
Bake in an oven preheated 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the muffins spring back to the touch.
I like using the applesauce because it cuts down on the cholesterol and as we are always looking for ways to cut the fat it’s one of my favorite ways to do so. Enjoy!
Now for the latest update on our new addition, she continues to wiggle her way into our hearts, particularly Dave’s! She now bounces to the door when he arrives home from work and nothing will satisfy her except he stop to pick her up!
She also loves lying at Tim’s feet when he is playing “Minecraft “ on the computer. It’s quite fun to see how he has stepped up to help and train the Chloe’.
Of course I am coming to think of her as the pesky little puppy, she must have attention, and she must have it now! Seriously, I love cuddling with her on the couch, she keeps me very warm during the cold Indian winter. Although winter here is not cold compared to Utah standards, it is still quite cold especially when you consider the fact that there is no heat! Everyone I have asked about it states, "It's only cold for 2 months, it's not worth it to put in heat." To which I reply, "Tell that to my feet!" 
Because it has been so cold I haven't been in the mood to sew much, however, I have been in the mood to knit and crochet. I have been able to complete 2 rosey earflap hats, the pattern for which can be found here:

I loved this pattern it worked up quickly (an hour per cap!) If your looking for a cute last minute Christmas gift this could be your answer!
Because these worked up so quickly I was also able to knit up a pair of socks for Dave in a nice comfortable wool! He will love them and with the marble floors here they will go a long way towards helping keep him warm this winter!
I used yarn from Light Brown Hare which fortunately ships internationally! The yarn knitted up wonderfully! I really enjoyed working with it. You can find her yarn here:

Have a great day everyone!
