Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup shredded apple
3 ripe bananas, mashed (Black!)
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
2 cups post bran flakes, crushed to 1 cup
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, bran flakes, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a medium bowl, combine applesauce, banana and shredded apple.
Add sugar and egg to wet ingredients.
Add wet ingredients to flour mixture, stirring just until combined.
Fill muffin tins and bake for about 25 minutes or until tests clean.

Tips:

Utilize ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for additional sugar and fat. This also minimizes food waste.
Choose fresh, crisp apples: Opt for apples that provide a delightful crunch. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are excellent choices.
Combine dry ingredients thoroughly: Ensure all dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices, are evenly distributed for consistent rising and flavor.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in dense muffins. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fill muffin cups to the brim: Ample batter in each cup promotes a high muffin top and prevents a sunken center.
Bake at the right temperature: An initial high heat of 400°F (200°C) encourages a quick rise, followed by a lower temperature of 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking throughout.
Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, the muffins are ready.
Cool before serving: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from crumbling.
