12 ounces cream cheese, soft
5 eggs
15 packets Splenda sugar substitute
2 Teasps vanilla
1 ½ cups whole almond meal
1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
1 Teasp baking powder
1 cup whole or coarsely chopped (fresh or frozen) cranberries

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan (heavy-gauge metal is best). You can also use muffin liners.

Put cream cheese and two eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat with a flat beater until smooth and fluffy. Add the other eggs, one at a time, beating briefly after each. On slow speed, stir in the rest of the ingredients except the cranberries. When mixture is well blended, stir in the cranberries.
