Chocolate Chip Bran Muffins

I got this recipe from my mother, and it is a staple of my breakfast diet. I make at least one batch of these a month, often two or more. If you happen to have an old banana lying around, just mash it up and toss it in for a bit of banana flavour. I usually use more than the called for amount of chips too. This recipe will fill standard muffin cups to the top, so don't worry that you're overfilling them.

• 1.75 cups all purpose flour
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.33 cups chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups bran
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil

Combine dry ingredients. Mix eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil well, and add to dry ingredients. Stir to blend, but don't overmix. Bake at 375F for about 20 minutes. Makes one dozen.

Mom's Molasses Bran Muffins

This is my mother's recipe. I find it can be a little dry, but I haven't experimented with other dark bran muffin recipes yet.

• 3 tablespoons oil
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups molasses
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1.5 cups bran
• 0.5 cups raisins

Mix together oil, brown sugar, molasses, eggs. Add milk and then bran. Sift flour, baking powder, soda together. Add raisins. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes a good dozen.
