1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups bran flake cereal, crushed
1 1/4 cups skim milk
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder,
baking soda, salt and sugar. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine bran
flakes and milk, then let stand until cereal is softened, about 2 minutes. Stir
in egg and applesauce, mixing well. Add dry ingredients and stir just until
combined.

batter into baking cups, 3/4 full. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes until muffins are
golden and spring back when touched. Cool on rack.
