APPLESAUCE RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS
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.

OAT BRAN APPLESAUCE MUFFINS
These got top ratings from my brothers, the muffin maniacs. And they're made with honey and whole wheat flour, so my mom loved them too! They are golden on the outside, moist on the inside, and look and smell just like "bakery" bran muffins. Enjoy! The original recipe is from Hodgson Mill: I made a few changes (as I always do) in order to make them a bit healthier.

Tips:
- Choose ripe apples: Using ripe, flavorful apples will ensure your muffins are packed with apple flavor. Look for apples that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
- Use a variety of apples: Don't be afraid to mix and match different apple varieties to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Gala apples.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
