Whats soy bran? could i substitute something for it instead?

[Eileen]

It's a type of bran you can buy in health food shops, nice texture for this sort of thing. I've made it with wheat bran, but it's pretty chewy like that.

Or you could use a spoonful of flaxmeal instead of a spoonful of bran. The bran just keeps the cals down.

The psyllum husks make it slightly sticky so it all stays together instead of falling apart into a pile of bran.

can use guar\xanthan instead psyilluium?

[Eileen]

Not in that amount anyway. You can make it without the psyllum (same volume of other bran or flaxmeal), but it is more crumbly. Maybe if you used extra egg in that case it would work.

If you don't have a fan assisted oven, give them 12-14 minutes.

These sound awesome, what's the macro break down?

[Eileen]

Depends what you actually use (wheat or soy bran, or flaxmeal) but if you stick with bran, it should be around 30 cals per muffin.
