Pumpkin bran loaf (or muffins)

Sam loves my baked goods, and this is one of his favorites.

1.5c oat bran
.5c flour
.5c brown sugar
2tsp baking powder
1 - 2 tsp spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, cider spices)
.25tsp salt
1c cooked mashed pumpkin (or sweet potato)
.5c milk
1 egg
2TBS olive oil

Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl. In separate bowl, beat egg, milk, pumpkin and oil until well blended. Slowly add wet mixture to dry and stir until well combined. Do not overmix. Pour into well-greased 9 x 5 loaf pan and bake at 350 for about 50min or until done.

Options: For muffins, pour in lined or greased muffin cups, bake at 400 for 20min. You could also add raisins or chopped pineapple tidbits, or nuts. This recipe is really forgiving, so get creative.
