Triple Bran Muffins

Combine
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup oat bran
1 cup wheat bran
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 cup chopped dates

In another bowl, combine
1 cup apple juice
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup molasses
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp salt (more or less)
Whisk together

Combine wet and dry ingredients and spoon into 12 muffin tins. They will be full.
Bake at 425F for 20 minutes.

I like to fool around with this recipe to produce different kinds of muffins. Basically, the dry ingredients stay the same (except for the dates which could change to raisins, craisins, chopped apples, oranges - whatever, and you can be creative with the wet ingredients, as long as the total volume is roughly the same. That's what I like about muffins, you can be very rough in your ingredients indeed. Try: mashed bananas with raspberry juice and frozen raspberries; chopped apples with a tsp of cinnamon and substitute a cup of oats for one cup of the flour; use your imagination and whatever you happen to have on hand.
