What can you substitute for bran in a muffin recipe?

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.

What is one-eight of a cup of flour is it half of cup plus 1 tablespoon?

Liquid measures are based on volume and are not the same as weight measures. We use the same term, "ounces," but they are not the same thing. If we were using the metric system, we would talk about grams versus milliliters. Flour comes by weight, not volume, so you cannot think that a pound of flour (16 ounces in weight) is the same as 2 cups or 2 X 8 liquid ounces. A cup of flour is equal to 8 liquid ounces in volume, but it only weighs about 4 ounces in weight. So a 5 pound bag of flour is actually more like 20 cups of flour, not 10. But this may vary according to how packed down or how sifted the flour is. The most accurate recipes give weight measurements for flour--so that you don't need to be worried about how compact or fluffed up your flour is.

Can orange peel be used interchangeably with orange zest?

Orange zest is made from orange peel. When you grate the rind of the orange, do not grate all the way to the white, you just want to grate the orange surface. Voila!! You have fresh orange zest. The zest of an orange is the very outter layer of the orange peel...just the orange part, not the white part. The easiest way to remove the zest without getting the bitter white part is to use an orange zester or a micro rasp (looks similar to a wood file). If you don't have an orange zester you can use the smallest holes on a box grater or cut the zest off with a paring knife. If using a paring knife, chop the peel as small as possible...now you have orange zest.

What type of food is stollen in Germany?

Is cocoa butter and cocoa powder the same thing?
