Craisin Bran Muffins

    
2/3 cup craisin's
1 1/4 c. flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. sugar
2 1/2 c.  Bran Flakes
1 1/4 c. milk (skim, if you want)
1 egg
1/4 c. vegetable oil

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Set aside. Measure Bran Flakes, craisin's, and milk into mixing bowl. Let stand 2 minutes. Add egg and oil. Beat well. Add flour mixture, stirring only until combined. Pour into greased muffin pans. I like to sprinkle the tops with cinnamon and sugar before baking. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. Makes one dozen.
