Things You'll Need:

  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray, or line with paper muffin liners.

  2. Step 2

    Pour three cups bran cereal into large mixing bowl. Pour water into cereal and mix to dampen all the cereal.

    Fill the muffin tins about two-thirds full with the brownie mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
