APPLE RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS (WITH FLAX SEED) image

Categories     Fruit     Breakfast     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Muffin     Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cup raisin bran
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon milled flax seed
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup margarine
2 apples, peeled and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients into large bowl. Combine wet ingredients into smaller bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Spoon into greased muffin tins up to the lip of the tin. Bake 15-30 minutes, depending on altitude (the higher the altitude, the longer you'll need to cook them). To keep the ultimate amount of moisture while storing, place the muffins into a ziplock bag immediately after removing them from the oven (while still piping hot). Note: If you don't have flax seed, add another egg and don't add the 3 tablespoons of water. Note: The brown sugar can be substituted with the same amount of maple syrup.

FLAX, OAT BRAN, BUCKWHEAT, & PUMPKIN MUFFINS



Flax, Oat Bran, Buckwheat, & Pumpkin Muffins image

This recipe is adapted from the a recipe found on the Red Mill, ground Flax meal bag. For a bran muffin, these babies are moist and very tasty. I've cut the white flour by half, and added an equal amount of buckwheat flour. I've also added a can of pumpkin and reduced the amount of milk. These muffins are so fresh and moist that they will only last a few days, so I freeze what we won't eat in a couple of days.

INSANELY HEALTHY VEGAN BRAN FLAX MUFFINS



Insanely Healthy Vegan Bran Flax Muffins image

I heavily modified this recipe from Jane Massey at allrecipes.com. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Bran-Flax-Muffins/Detail.aspx I was on the hunt for the healthiest muffins ever and I couldn't find the right recipe, so I decided to mess with that one. Although, I am not vegan my roommate is and I knew I would need her help with the eating. These are sooo delicious! I went into these thinking they would be barely edible, but they ended up being really, really great and (or although) they do taste healthy. So if you don't like healthy food, this may not be the recipe for you!

1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
3/4 cup Brown Flaxseed Meal
3/4 cup Oat Bran Cereal
1/2 cup Brown Sugar (light or dark) OR 1/2 cup Jam or Jelly any flavor
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Cinnamon, Saigon (Premium)
1 1/2 cups finely shredded Carrots
2 peeled and shredded Apples
1/2 cup Raisins (optional)
1/2 cup chopped Nuts
3/4 cup Milk or Yogurt (if using jam, reduce liquid ingredient to 1/2 cup)
2 beaten Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
(totally optional) 2 tbsp Butter or Peanut butter or a combo

Steps:

  • Directions Mix together dry ingredients: flour, Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in carrots, apples, raisins (if desired) and nuts. In a separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients: milk (or yogurt), Jelly (if you are using instead of brown sugar), beaten eggs, vanilla (and optional butter/peanut butter).

Notes: You can also use 1 1/2 cups Unbleached White Flour in place of the Whole Wheat Pastry Flour. For a twist on this great recipe- try substituting 3/4 cup Hazelnut Meal in place of the Oat Bran.

Tips:

  • Utilize ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for refined sugar.
  • Balance the sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on the ripeness of the bananas and your personal preference for sweetness.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in dense muffins. Gently stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Substitute almond or soy milk: For a dairy-free option, replace regular milk with almond or soy milk.
  • Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch: Incorporate chopped walnuts, pecans, or flax seeds for added texture and nutritional value.
  • Ensure accurate measurements: Precise measurements are crucial for successful baking. Use measuring cups and spoons for accurate results.
  • Preheat the oven: Always preheat the oven to the specified temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done baking.
