MOLASSES BRAN MUFFINS



Molasses Bran Muffins image

There are so many benefits to increasing the fiber in your diet. Foods high in fiber help to soak up LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream, thus reducing the risk of arterial deposits and possible myocardial infarction. Studies show that fiber also helps to slow the absorption of sugar in the gut, which helps to stabilize blood-glucose levels, which is good for diabetics, those who suffer from insulin resistance and obesity. These muffins are a fairly painless way to add fiber to your diet--at least for non-diabetics. Probably too much sugar for a diabetic--sorry.

Tips:

  • Make sure your buttermilk is fresh. Buttermilk that is more than a week old will not work as well in this recipe.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. If you fill the muffin cups too full, the muffins will overflow and make a mess.
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door while the muffins are baking. This will cause the muffins to fall.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before eating them. This will help the muffins set and prevent them from falling apart.
