Ingredients

½ c. Fiber One® or All Bran® cereal
1 2/3 c. Fat free buttermilk
½ c. Unsweetened applesauce
½ c. Egg substitute
1 c. Packed brown sugar
¼ c. Whole wheat flour
1 c. All-purpose flour
2/3 c. Unsweetened baking cocoa
2 t. Baking soda
1 t. Vanilla
¼ t. Salt
1 tbsp. Light margarine or butter, softened

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F.

Place cereal in a resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with a rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor).

In medium bowl, mix cereal and buttermilk; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in applesauce and egg substitute. Stir in remaining ingredients. Fill each muffin cup about ½ full.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately remove from pan. Cool on wire rack.

Cook's Notes

A 4 oz. snack container of applesauce works well. Use natural unsweetened cocoa powder not Dutch-Process. I generally use Ghirardelli.

This is a really nice recipe. I made a few changes - used all whole wheat flour, two eggs, and sweetened with Agave. My kids loved them!
