OAT BRAN FRUIT MUFFINS



Oat Bran Fruit Muffins image

I recently tried PaulaG's Pumpkin Fruit and Nut Muffins (#116356) and loved the wonderful moistness given to these by the apricots and raisins. So much so, I went looking through my cookbooks for recipes that might capture that same delightful quality. The original comes from "The 250 Best Muffin Recipes" but I've already started tweaking it a bit here. This has been updated since Roosie's review.

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups oat bran
1/4 cup oatmeal, regular not instant
1/2 cup mixed dried fruit (if you can't find pre-mixed dried fruit, make your own combination or use raisins)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup brown sugar (use a half cup if you like your muffins sweeter)
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk (or use 1/3 cup non-fat yogurt plus skim milk to level it off to 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons canola oil
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180c).
  • In one bowl combine all of the dry ingredients - oat bran, oatmeal, fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a second bowl, lightly beat the egg whites by hand. Whisk in the yogurt, oil, applesauce and brown sugar. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just mix. Do not over beat as it will result in a tough lumpy muffin.
  • Spoon batter into lightly sprayed muffin tin. (Use paper liners if you prefer.) Bake 33 to 38 minutes, toothpick should be clean.

Provided by Manuela

Categories     Quick Breads

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 1/4 cups skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large bowl combine oat bran, flour, chopped apricots, baking powder, brown sugar (save 2 tbs), and cinnamon.
  • Separately beat the egg with 2tbs of sugar until fluffy and light.
  • Warm up milk (just until lukewarm) and dissolve honey in it.
  • Mix milk, egg, oil and vanilla.
  • 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.
  • NOTE: It's almost foolproof, but you can test for doneness with a toothpick if you like: they should be moist but not wet.
  • To retain moisture, store in a plastic bag.
  • They're best served warm; reheating with the microwave works just fine.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and add more moisture to the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Oat bran muffins with dried fruit are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious muffin that is sure to please everyone.
