Clementine Bran Muffins

Just my little adaptation of the Five Roses Cookbook bran muffin recipe.

1 cup whole bran
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup molasses
1 cup flour
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 clementines, peeled and  chopped
1/2 tsp orange zest
3/4 cup raisins
2 tbsps wheat germ (optional)
2 tbsps flax (optional)
2 tbsps whey protein powder (optional)
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp allspice
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Combine bran, milk and molasses and let stand.

In a large bowl mix together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, wheat germ, flax, whey, ginger, allspice, zest and raisins. Stir in bran mixture, clementines, egg and oil.

Stir quickly until all ingredients are just mixed. 

Line muffin tin with papers and fill with batter about 2/3 full.

Bake at 400F for 20 minutes

Serve with a little pat of butter.....yum!
