Carrot Bran Muffin

I love muffins for a weekend breakfast, but many of the recipes I found were for 3-point muffins. So, after my daughter asking me to make carrot muffins, I went in search of a recipe and made it more weight watchers friendly by changing many things. I came up with this recipe that is 2.5 points for 2 muffins! They are cooking as I type, but I didn't want to forget how I made them. Hopefully they turn out tasty.

Carrot Bran Muffins

1 1/4 C skim milk

2 C Fiber One cereal

1/2 C applesauce

2 eggs, beaten

1 3/4 C carrot

1/4 C sweetened dried cranberries

1/4 C sweetened coconut

1 1/4 C whole wheat flour

8 packets stevia

1/2 T molasses

1/4 C white sugar

1/2 tsp. almond extract

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

Combine cereal, eggs, milk and applesauce in a large bowl and let soak about 10 minutes, then add carrots, cranberries, coconut, molasses & almond extract.

In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add the cereal mixture and stir just until combined. Grease muffin pans and fill about 2/3 full and bake in 350 degree oven 20 to 25 minutes. Makes 18 muffins.

You could try an egg subsitute and more stevia in place of the white sugar to bring down the points a little more.
