Morning Fiber And Protein Muffins Recipe

Name: Morning Fiber And Protein Muffins
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 cups Fiber One cereal; 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds; 1 tablespoon cinnamon (or to taste); 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 egg; 1/4 cup applesauce (or one little pot); 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 3/4 - 1 cup tea (or water or skim milk); 3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese (or yogurt)

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
2
In a large bowl combine the applesauce, tea, and cereal and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Cereal should start to feel heavy and squishy.
3
In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer on a low-to-medium speed mix the cereal mixture until it is fairly mushy, much like the consistancy of mashed potatoes. If you are shorter on time or your hand mixer gets bogged down, try throwing the lot in the blender or food processor.
4
Add the ground flax and mix well.
5
Add the egg and vanilla and blend well.
6
Add the remaining ingredients one by one leaving the cottage cheese until last. Mix well. Batter should be thick and fairly lumpy with a fibrous texture.
7
Transfer batter to muffin pans and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes Adjust time according to humidity and altitude (+/- 5 minutes. As an indication, in the summer (humid/hot) in Toronto (elevation 600ft) I bake these for 22-23 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
