2 c. bran
1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1/2 c. golden syrup (light corn syrup)
1 egg
1 c. milk
1/4 c. Nutella

Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin or place paper muffin c..

Pour the bran into a lrg. bowl and sift in the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the the walnuts or pecans and lightly mix through with your fingers.

Heat the golden syrup in a sm. bowl in the microwave until it is quite runny. Add the milk and egg to the syrup and beat together. Add to the dry ingredients in the lrg. bowl and stir together carefully but quickly, stopping before it all looks properly mixed. Do not to overmix or the muffins will look and feel like hockey pucks. Half fill each muffin mold with the mixtures. Using a wet tsp. make sm. holes in the top of each muffin. Carefully spoon a tsp. of Nutella into each hole and cover the filling in each muffin completely with the remaining muffin mixture. Bake for 10 to 15 mins., until the muffins spring back when lightly pressed.

Makes approximately 12 muffins.
