Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups oat bran (generic oat bran is usually too coarse, use a fine one)
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup dried apricot (or raisins, or nuts, or whatever)
1 egg, beaten (or 2 egg whites)
2 tablespoons oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large bowl combine oat bran, flour, chopped apricots, baking powder, brown sugar (save 2 tbs), and cinnamon.

  • Blend together with dry ingredients, adding a bit more skim milk if the mixture seems too thick.
  • Line a muffin pan with paper baking cups.
  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes.

  • They're best served warm; reheating with the microwave works just fine.

EVER-READY OAT/BRAN MUFFINS



Ever-Ready Oat/Bran Muffins image

This is a recipe my grandmother gave to me and I believe she got it off a bag of Quaker Oats. It is the best bran muffin recipe I have tried. I misplaced the recipe and couldn't find it online anywhere, so I'm posting it here so I can find it. I remember my grandmother making these when we'd go to stay with her and I loved them. I usually store the unused batter in plastic containers in the refrigerator. I fill the containers with the batter and then put a layer of plastic wrap over the top before I put the lid on...I find the batter keeps longer that way. Also, by putting it in a couple of smaller containers, rather than one large one, the batter keeps longer because you aren't exposing it until you use it. I'm not sure exactly how many muffins this will make because I've never made them all at once, but it makes alot.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few hours.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin scoop to fill the muffin cups: This will help ensure that all of the muffins are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing them: This will help prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Oat bran muffins are a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack. They are packed with fiber, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied. They are also a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be an oat bran muffin recipe that everyone will enjoy.
