Healthy Apple Bran Muffins

Julia Layman Baker

Really good recipe. I added 1/4 cup raisins. Julia suggests that you add 2 tablespoons sugar if you like them sweeter.



Non-stick cooking spray
1 1/4 cups bran flakes
1 cup all-purpose flour ( or 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup skim milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoons salt
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1 cup finely chopped apples

In a medium bowl, combine milk and bran flakes. Set aside and let siften into mush.  In a large bowl, combine dry products and make a well in the middle. Set aside.

To bran mixture, add eggs, applesauce and honey. Add bran mixture to bran products. Stir just until moistened. Fold in apples. Bake at 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes.

Makes 12 muffins

Note: Do not use pan liners as these muffins are really moist and will stick to the paper. Instead use a non-stick baking spray with flour in it and spray down your muffin pan really well.
