1 cup of total Raisin Bran cereal (Crushed)
1 cup wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup applesauce (NO OIL or BUTTER)
2 ripe bananas (Mashed)
1 cup brown sugar or 1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
4 egg whites (slightly beaten)
2 teaspoons cinnamon (or both) or 2 teaspoons nutmeg (or both)
1/2 cup crushed pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon (or both) or 2 teaspoons nutmeg (or both)
1/2 cup crushed pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • Sift together Flour, Salt, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and the Cinnamon and/or Nutmeg; Set Aside.

  • Stir in Pecans or Walnuts, Wheat Flakes and Raisin Bran; Mix well and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to soften cereal.
  • If batter seems to thick for your taste you can add another 1/2 cup Applesauce or 2% Milk, Plain Yogurt or even Buttermilk.

  • Conbined Streusel ingredients into a Ziploc bag and mix or shake thoroughly.
  • Fill Muffin pan 3/4 of the way full and using fingers sprinkle the streusel on top of the batter.

  • Great for Breakfast or as a snack!

Tips:

  • Choose the right wheat bran. Not all wheat bran is created equal. Look for a brand that is finely milled and has a light, fluffy texture. This will help to ensure that your muffins are light and airy, not dense and dry.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make your muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use ripe bananas. Ripe bananas are sweeter and more flavorful than unripe bananas. They will also help to keep your muffins moist.
  • Add some sweetness. If you find that your muffins are too tart, you can add some honey, maple syrup, or sugar to the batter.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that your muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Wheat bran muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. These muffins are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast, give wheat bran muffins a try.
