1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups bran flakes
1 cup skim milk (I used 1% milk)
1 whole egg
1 small apple -- peeled and chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar (I used 8 tsps of splenda brown sugar blend)
2 tablespoons butter -- melted (I used 2 Tablespoons of SmartBalance Olive Oil spread)

You can also throw in more fruit... like, I threw in about 1/3 cup of leftover blueberries.

Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.

Mix cereal and milk in another bowl; let sit 3 minutes.

Beat egg in medium bowl. Add apple, applesauce, sugar, and margarine; mix well.

Add cereal mixture; mix well.

Add to flour mixture; stir until moistened (batter will be lumpy).

Spoon batter evenly into 12 medium muffin pans cups sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, filling each cup 2/3rds full.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm.
