Ingredients
- 45g wheat bran
- 25g all bran
- ¼ tsp salt
- 120ml water, boiling
- 240ml skimmed milk
- 150g dried cranberries
- 75g sweetener
- 1 egg
- 60ml sunflower oil

Method
Preheat oven to 190°C / Gas Mark 5 / 375°F
- Line a muffin tray with individual paper cases.
- Preheat the oven.
- In a bowl, combine the bran, cereal and salt. Pour over boiling water and stir to combine.
- Stir in the milk and cranberries and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sweetener, egg and oil. Stir this into the bran mixture.

Cool on a wire rack before serving - if you can wait that long!
