Judy, I'll have to try yours. They sound really good!!! and I'm a real fan of muffins.

Here's my version of Heart Healthy Bran Muffins. It too is a work in progress!!

1 1/2 cups All Bran Cereal
1/2 cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal
1 1/2 cup Soy milk
1 1/4 cup King Arthur or other natural whole wheat flour
1 tblsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 heaping tsp. Powdered Stevia (from Health Food Store) or 1/4 cup Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking or 1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 egg whites
2 tblsp. whole flax seed (from Health Food Store)
1 tblsp. Canola oil
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (walnuts lower blood pressure) may use ? cup of each
1 cup chopped dried fruit (I like to use dried strawberries or raisins) may also use mashed bananas
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine cereal, oatmeal and milk and let stand for 2 minutes.
Sift together flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
Add egg, flax seed & oil to cereal mixture. Beat well. Add flour mixture stirring until combined. Add nuts, fruit and vanilla & stir. Portion into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400F about 20 to 22 minutes until golden brown.
These muffins freeze well.
