APPLESAUCE RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS



Applesauce Raisin Bran Muffins image

I checked and while I found many bran muffin recipes here, none were quite like this. I like this one not only because it is lower fat, but because it doesn't have as much added sugar, and it relies on the cereal more than the flour to make the batter. The muffins themselves are surprisingly moist and light in texture. I like the light sweetness of these and the crunchy muffin tops. (If you sprinkle a little extra cereal on top, they get an even better crunch, and improved appearance.) I found this recipe at www.mealsmatter.org. Watch these since the recipe stated they should bake in 20 minutes, but I found mine were done after about 15.

REFRIGERATOR APPLE BRAN MUFFINS



Refrigerator Apple Bran Muffins image

I made these at the request of my oldest granddaughter who likes healthy food. Even though these may be put in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, you may bake them all at once and freeze them. They are so moist and good. Very healthy as they are lower in fat than some and eggs whites are used in place of the whole eggs. They make about 24 muffins.

Time 17m

Yield 24 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups shreds of whole all-bran cereal
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup oil
4 egg whites (slightly beaten with a fork)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine all bran cereal and buttermilk; let stand 5 minutes till cereal is softened.
  • Meanwhile in another large bowl combine both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and raisins and mix well.
  • To the cereal and buttermilk mixture add the applesauce, oil, and egg whites and blend well.
  • Add this to the flour mixture all at once and stir till just moistened.
  • You may bake this immediately or stored in tightly covered container and put in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 400 degrees; spray cupcake papers with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Stir batter and fill about 3/4 full.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-17 minutes till done.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in dry muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These applesauce and raisin bran refrigerator muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They're perfect for busy mornings or for a quick snack. With their moist and flavorful texture, these muffins are sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast option, give these muffins a try!
