Cooking oil spray or butter

¾ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup whole wheat flour

¼ teaspoon salt

1¾ cups bran flake cereal with raisins

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk (substitute for buttermilk: add 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup milk)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray or grease the bottoms of a muffin tin.

2. Put flour in a large bowl. Add salt, baking soda, and sugar. Mix well.

3. Stir in the bran flake cereal. Mix well.

4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and set aside.

5. In another bowl, beat the egg, buttermilk, and oil together.

6. Pour the egg mixture into the well of the cereal mixture and stir until all ingredients are moist. Do not over mix.

7. Fill the tins 2/3 full.

8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
