Enriched Muffins

I add variety to my meals by experimenting. Muffins are a favorite, so I tried some “different” ingredients. My husband was impressed.

Recipe

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup margarine, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup grape juice
• 1/4 cup half-and-half
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup bran
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using an electric mixer, blend egg, margarine, and sugar in a bowl. Mix in grape juice and half-and-half. Combine flour, bran, and baking soda. Mix with cranberries and stir in to egg mixture. Put in a greased muffin pan and bake about 12 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: White grape juice may be substituted for purple. To cut calories, use skim milk in place of the half-and-half. If desired, sprinkle muffins with bran cereal before baking.
