is really good
1 C. powdered instant non
dairy creamer
1 C. chocolate-flavored
drink mix
1/2 C. instant coffee

I cut the creamer in half

My Favorite Muffins
Soak 1/2 C. Bran and add
water to make 1 Cup while
mixing remaining
ingredients.
2 C. Flour
1 T baking Powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C packed Brown Sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 C Milk
3 T. Oil
1 C Nuts (optional)
Mix all
ingredients and then add the
bran and water. Put in
greased muffin tins makes 14
-16 muffins. I like to make
8 muffins one day and save
remaining batter for quick
muffins another day. Bake
at 400 degrees for 15 min.
Can substitute for Bran and
water: 1 C. Apple sauce,
or Pumpkin sauce or Grated
zucchini and 1/2 t.
cinnamon. Can use recipe to
make 2 small loaves of bread
and bake at 350 degrees for
about 1 hour. Have found
that Wheat Germ or Malt O
Meal work good instead of
the Bran.

1/2 tsp. Onion powder or
fresh minced onion as much
as you like
1/2 tsp. Salt or favorite
seasoned salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 to 1 C. Orange Juice
For beef we like to add
Italian Seasoning and a
Squirt of our favorite Steak
sauce.
For pork we like extra Onion
and Worcestershire sauce
For chicken we like to add
Garlic mince or powder and a
little poultry seasoning.
Use this marinade with 1/2
C. Orange Juice to put on
meat while grilling. Use it
with 1 C. Orange Juice to
marinate meat a few hour or
overnight for tougher cuts
of meat. It is also good to
put with a roast for baking.
