Recipe
1-1/2 cups wheat bran
1 cup soy milk + 1 tbsp. vinegar
*1/3 cup orphee organic canola oil*
1 tbsp. golden ground flaxseed plus 1/4 cup soy milk
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup raisins
12 dried apricots, diced finely
Stir vinegar into the soy milk. Mix together the wheat bran and soy milk mixture; let stand. Mix ground flaxseed with soy milk - whip a bit with fork to gel. Combine canola oil, flaxseed mixed with soymilk, brown sugar and vanilla and add to bran/soy milk mixture. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to first mixture and stir until blended.
Add raisins and apricots and spoon into prepared muffins tins. Oh, and as you can see I added a small sliver of apricot to the top of each muffin -- it looked cute going in but not so cute coming out! I would never do this again. So please excuse how ugly they look but rest assured the taste was wonderful. Just keep the apricots inside the muffin and it will be all good! Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes.

*You could make this recipe lower fat if you so desired by subbing 3 tablespoons of oil + 2 tablespoons applesauce for the 1/3 cup oil. You can also sub with 3 tablespoons oil + 6 tablespoons flaxseed. According to the back of my container of flaxseed they say you can substitute flaxseed for fat at a ratio of 3-1. Three tablespoons of flaxseed is equal to one tablespoon of fat. It would be a great way to up your omega 3 intake.*
