Saturday-sunshine blue skies

Spent the day cleaning house. A very nice day not that I seen much of it, I only went out side to hang out the washing. Boring huh! It was noce to get all the wash dried and no clothes horse cluttering up the lounge. Tomorrow is a ME day.
I baked a batch of pretty nice muffins.

Orange Bran Raisin Muffins

12 paper muffin cup liners (only made 11)
3/4 cp fat-free milk
1/2 cp unsweetened orange juice(I used 2 oranges)
2 tbls canola oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 lge egg lightly beaten
2 cps raisin bran cereal
1cp wholewheat flour
sugar substitute equal to 2 tbsp of sugar (Equal powder)
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon(bit cinnamony for me maybe only half tsp)
1/2 tsp salt

Rack in centre of oven pre heat to 400 f(check this in c 180)
Whisk milk,orange juice, oil vanilla and egg set aside.
Mix raisin bran, wholewheat flour,sugar substitute, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a second bowl.
Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients and stir just until dry ingredients are just moistened...some small lumps are fine. Spoon enough batter into each muffin cup to fill it 2/3 full.
Bake until golden brown, about 18 to 20 mins. A toothpick inserted into centre of one muffin should come out clean. Cool the mufffins in the tin for 3 minutes, then serve immediately or transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
