Sift all the dry ingredients together to make it light and airy.
Use oat bran as it's high in soluble fibre which helps you control your blood sugar and lower your blood cholesterol.
Wholemeal flour is also high in fibre and adds crunch.
You can use either white or brown sugar but reduce the amount of sugar used.
If you are worried about the cholesterol from eggs, use three egg whites instead of one whole egg. Otherwise, you need to use only half an egg for this recipe.
Instead of using butter and margarine, use soya oil as it's high in polyunsaturated fats that are good for your heart and can lower your cholesterol.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can use ½ cup non-fat yoghurt that's been blended with ½ cup of water. Add vanilla essence and lemon juice which adds the "tang" and vitamin c.
Remember not to over-fold your muffin mixture.
