Soyflour teams up with dried figs and bran cereal in these tender, yet high fiber, muffins.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup soy flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups toasted wheat bran cereal (such as Wheat Chex)
3/4 cup dried figs, chopped
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
Stir flours, baking soda, spices, and salt in a small bowl to blend. Combine bran cereal and figs in a small bowl; add boiling water and let stand.
Beat the butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in sugar and honey. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Alternately, add buttermilk and flour mixtures blending after each. Mix in bran and figs. Divide batter among lined muffin cups.
