One Bowl Chocolate Fiber Muffins
One Bowl Chocolate Fiber Muffins are dessert-like chocolate muffins with a bit of added fiber from bran cereal.
Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup fiber cereal crushed after measuring (Fiber One or All Bran)
- 1 ⅓ cups buttermilk or 1 ¼ cup regular milk plus 4 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar (150 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup unsweetened baking cocoa natural type, not Dutch or European style
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour or AP four (130 grams)
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cereal and buttermilk. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften cereal. Add oil, egg, brown sugar and vanilla and stir until very well mixed. Stir in cocoa, baking soda and salt and (again) mix well.
- Add the flour and stir just until mixed. Stir in chocolate chips and divide evenly among muffin cups.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes (I baked for 17).
- Let cool in muffin tin for about 2 minutes, then remove muffin cups from tin.
Notes
You can make these with Fiber One or All-Bran. If you don't have white whole wheat flour, you can make them with all-purpose or a mixture of all-purpose and whole wheat.
