Super Yummy Low Fat Bran Muffins image

These are delicious little gems, even my boyfriend who detests low fat foods loves them! I'm extremely health conscious so these are perfect with almost no fat, and are super healthy because of the bran. They turn out super moist and delicious and reheat well in the microwave. You can substitute whole wheat flour for white if you wish and they will still be delicious. Adding raisins make them tasty too. Got this one off of the Kraft website.

ANOTHER LOW-CALORIE BRAN MUFFIN RECIPE



Another Low-Calorie Bran Muffin Recipe image

I was looking for a low calorie healthy bran muffin recipe that tasted like a traditional bran muffin, and finally came up with a sort of "Frankenstein monster" conglomeration of a basic recipe with several substitutions. They turned out great and at around 100 calories per muffin they have become my favorite. NOTE: You can use any combination of oat bran and wheat bran to make the 1 1/2 cups bran. Oat bran has its own benefits, but adds more calories.

LOW FAT APPLE BRAN MUFFINS



Low Fat Apple Bran Muffins image

I like to snack on these muffins, they're good, and they're healthy too. Add more sugar if you want it to be sweeter, since these muffins aren't very sweet. Be careful with the milk, sometimes it can be too moist, but you'll just have to bake it for a longer period of time.
