a bran muffin does have more calories
There can be 692 in a chocolate chocolate chip muffin, but that is either one VERY chocolatey muffin or it is VERY large. Most muffins like that will probably go aroun 200 to 400 calories per muffin (assuming it is a "normal" size).
It varries a little based on what kind of candy bar it is, but most are about 250 calories or so.
I just read that a "name brand" packaged buckeye candy had 80 calories each, 3 for 240 calories. That seemed accurate to me. Depending on the size and recipe variations, they'd most likely be 70-100 calories each.
Yes, fiber is essential to weight loss. in fact, studies have shown that fiber helps you absorb less calories. Most studies show that for every gram of fiber, you lose around 5-10 calories. This is what the fiber 35 diet is based upon. If you look up the fiber 35 diet, its a good one. I recommend it.
there wheat bran, or beta glucans oat bran pectin

No. Most hard candy is fat-free but it still contains a lot of sugar and calories so it is not good for you. Fruit is healthier and still has that sweet taste.
The oil is the "shortening" that makes the crumb of the muffin tender. In most muffin recipes you can substitute unsweetened applesauce for half of the oil to lower the fat and calories and it will still be tender.
I assume someone wants to know what Americans have for breakfast. Some just have coffee. Most people have cereal or eggs with something like toast, English muffin, bran muffin, blueberry muffin and if they have plenty of time they might even have an American favorite of bacon, eggs and hash browns or pancakes. But cereal, toast or muffin will win hands down for a speedy meal. Then there are actually people who will eat doughnuts or other pastries. Kids like cereal. Now i have learning new recipes from a cooking site themasalaroute. It has an amazing collection of healthy breakfast recipes. Then i will try to cook something different everyday.
You can use black treacle or anything dark and sweet and syrupy. It's also OK to use malt in similar quantities. The molasses has a certain taste of its own which isn't easily copied and molasses do provide a very rich source of iron. But most of those recipes can take anything syrupy like Apple juice concentrate in thick syrup form. Or you could use honey if you like that flavour in a bran muffin. Also you can use Agave Syrup a naturally sweet one that. Some people use Maple Syrup. Molasses and Treacle though are very thick and messy to handle but a muffin won't be spoiled by any of the above substitutes. You just have to make sure you don't overdo or under-do the sweetness and put up with the strong taste of molasses not being present.

I assume so. Be sure to read the ingredient list when you buy breadcrumbs though, some have fish and crustacea in them.
