Maple Bran Muffins

Maple Bran Muffins

2 and 1/2 cups bran flakes
1 and 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a muffin tin with butter or oil.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat in an egg. Add bran flakes and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, mix together milk, lemon juice, maple syrup and oil. Combine wet and dry mix and then pour into the muffin tin, leaving about 1/2 or 1/4 of room at the top of each for rising. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes and check with a toothpick to ensure they are baked all the way through (toothpick should come out clean).
