LOW FAT CARROT BRAN MUFFINS



Low Fat Carrot Bran Muffins image

Wonderful carrot bran muffins that are low in fat, yet, I find, taste almost buttery. They have a wonderful moist yet fluffy texture, and not too sweet delicious cinnamon flavour and aroma. The batter is quite thin, which creates smooth domed muffin tops. I have always made these with the soured milk instead of buttermilk. And yes, there really is 1 tbsp cinnamon in this recipe, it is not a typo! NOTE: Do not use muffin liners with this recipe - they are too moist and delicate for them so the muffins will stick to the liner.

CARROT GINGER BRAN MUFFINS



Carrot Ginger Bran Muffins image

From Women's Health Magazine, these taste awesome and they're really healthy for you! I like to put them in the fridge and microwave one for breakfast. Here's Women's Health Mag description: You may still be sporting sandals, but cold and flu season will be back faster than you can say "Gesundheit!" Protect yourself with this spicy triple threat. Car­rots are rich in immune-boosting vitamin A, zinc-packed pumpkin seeds ward off infection, and apple juice flows with sniffle-stifling vitamin C. "If your body needs to protect itself or heal, these three vitamins are essential," Zeratsky says. Another weapon: yogurt. Studies show that its good-for-you bacteria provide another line of defense against microbes.

ALL-BRAN CLASSIC CARROT MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



All-Bran Classic Carrot Muffins Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by chefebbie

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups Kellogg's* All-Bran* Original cereal
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins or dates, chopped
1 cup carrots, grated
1 3/4 cups buttermilk or soured milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
Grated rind of 1 lemon or orange

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, stir together flour, cereal, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, soda, salt raisins and carrots. Add buttermilk, oil, egg and lemon rind, stirring just until combined. Spoon into greased non - stick muffin tins. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 minutes or until tops are firm to the touch.

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots. Fresh carrots have a sweeter flavor and more nutrients than older carrots.
  • Grate the carrots finely. This will help them blend into the muffins better and give them a more even texture.
  • Use a combination of flours. This will give the muffins a lighter and more tender texture. All-purpose flour is a good base, but you can also add whole wheat flour, oat flour, or almond flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes. Check the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
