APPLE STREUSEL BRAN MUFFINS



Apple Streusel Bran Muffins image

I found that a little applesauce with the chopped apples and a little streusel topping in the middle makes a nice middle of muffin if you would like to make a gourmet muffin. I have found

LOW FAT APPLE BRAN MUFFINS



Low Fat Apple Bran Muffins image

I like to snack on these muffins, they're good, and they're healthy too. Add more sugar if you want it to be sweeter, since these muffins aren't very sweet. Be careful with the milk, sometimes it can be too moist, but you'll just have to bake it for a longer period of time.

LOW FAT (BUT TASTY!) BUTTERMILK APPLE BRAN MUFFINS WW FRIENDLY



Low Fat (But Tasty!) Buttermilk Apple Bran Muffins Ww Friendly image

A healthier variation of my Recipe #101530. I have found they are a perfect WW 2 Points Plus snack after a workout. (They are 3 points plus with the oats added.) They also are very good for keeping your system regular when you are limiting your fat intake. ;) You can keep the batter in the refrigerator for several days and bake them as you need them, but they also freeze really well. (If you don't have fat free buttermilk, place 2 Tbls. of vinegar or lemon juice in a measuring cup then add low fat milk until it totals 2 cups altogether.) Sometimes I get bored with the original plain muffins and add some or all of the optional ingredients. I've also started adding 1 cup of old fashioned oats to mimic nuts in the muffins. They are delicious with WW's cream cheese on them too. PLEASE NOTE: wheat bran is NOT cereal. I buy mine at the bulk food store, and it looks like sawdust. Oat bran can be used in its place but the muffins aren't as tasty IMHO.

Categories     Fruit     Breakfast     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Muffin     Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cup raisin bran
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon milled flax seed
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup milk

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup margarine

Spoon into greased muffin tins up to the lip of the tin. Bake 15-30 minutes, depending on altitude (the higher the altitude, the longer you'll need to cook them).

APPLE BRAN MUFFINS

This is a nice change from a plain bran muffin. It's somewhat healthier, because it's made with yogurt. I always double the cinnamon sugar on top (personal preference). Sometimes I add some chopped pecans (or walnuts). Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you - these come together fast.

OAT BRAN APPLE PIE MUFFINS (EVERYTHING-FREE, LOW-CAL AND VEGAN!)



Oat Bran Apple Pie Muffins (Everything-Free, Low-Cal and Vegan!) image

Fat-free, sugar-free, low-calorie, AND vegan!! This recipe came about when I was looking for something a little different to do with some apple pie filling, and for a sugar-free muffin recipe that didn't have any added artificial sweeteners. (Yes, the pie filling is sweetened with Splenda, but that wouldn't affect the texture of the final product the way adding Splenda would.) I used a kitchen scissors to chop the apple slices from the pie filling into smaller pieces. Try to get all of the "goo" from the pie filling in there, too -- don't just throw it out! If you overmix, it will probably be tough; that's why I chose to mix it by hand, though of course you could use an electric mixer if you prefer. I used a jumbo-sized muffin pan, and I got six nice-sized muffins -- for less than 150 calories each!

What are Apple Bran Muffins?

Apple bran muffins are muffins that are made with a combination of whole wheat and bran flour, as well as fresh apples. They are typically sweetened with natural sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup or fruit puree instead of refined sugar. These muffins are a delicious way to add fiber to your diet and are a great alternative to traditional baked goods.

Whole wheat flour:
This is a type of flour that is made from the whole grain of wheat. It contains more fiber and nutrients than refined white flour.
Apples:
Fresh apples are a key ingredient in apple bran muffins. They add natural sweetness, moisture, and fiber to the muffins.

These natural sweeteners are used instead of refined sugar to sweeten the muffins.
Butter or Oil:
Fat is needed to add moisture to the muffins. Butter or oil can be used in the recipe.
Baking Powder and Baking Soda:
These leavening agents help the muffins rise and become light and fluffy.

Tips for Making Apple Bran Muffins

The following are some tips for making the perfect apple bran muffins:
Choose the right apples:
When making apple bran muffins, it is important to choose the right type of apples. Apples that are tart and firm like Granny Smith will hold their shape during baking and provide a nice balance of sweet and tart flavors.
Use whole wheat flour and bran flour:
For maximum nutrition, it is recommended to use a combination of whole wheat and bran flour in the recipe.
Don't overmix the batter:
Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
Bake at the right temperature:
Apple bran muffins should be baked at 375°F for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool before storing:
To keep the muffins fresh, allow them to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Health Benefits of Apple Bran Muffins

Apple bran muffins are a great source of dietary fiber, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. The fiber in these muffins can also help regulate blood sugar levels, prevent constipation, and promote regular bowel movements. In addition to fiber, apple bran muffins are also a good source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium, and calcium. Vitamins C and potassium are essential for a healthy immune system, while calcium is important for bone health. Moreover, apple bran muffins can be made gluten-free by replacing the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour such as oat flour or almond flour. They can also be made vegan by replacing the egg with a flax or chia egg.

Apple bran muffins recipes are a great way to start the day or enjoy as a snack. These muffins are healthy, delicious and easy to make. However, there are some tips you might want to keep in mind to ensure that your muffins turn out perfect.

Tip #1: Use Fresh Ingredients

One of the most important tips to keep in mind when making apple bran muffins is to use fresh ingredients. This includes fresh apples, bran, flour, baking powder, and any other ingredients that you are using. By using fresh ingredients, you will ensure that your muffins turn out moist, fluffy, and flavorful.

Tip #2: Preheat the Oven

Another important tip is to preheat the oven to the proper temperature before you start making your muffins. This will ensure that the muffins cook evenly and without any undercooked areas. You can usually preheat the oven to around 350 degrees Fahrenheit, but be sure to check the recipe for any specific temperature requirements.

Tip #3: Mix the Dry Ingredients Together First

When making apple bran muffins, it is important to mix the dry ingredients together first before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will ensure that all of the dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter, which will result in a better texture and flavor.

Tip #4: Do Not Overmix the Batter

When adding the wet ingredients, be sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dry muffins. Instead, mix the wet and dry ingredients together until they are just combined.

Tip #5: Use Muffin Liners

Using muffin liners when baking your apple bran muffins is a great way to ensure that they cook evenly and do not stick to the muffin tin. You can use paper liners or silicone liners, but be sure to lightly spray them with cooking spray before adding the batter.

Tip #6: Fill the Muffin Cups Properly

Be sure to fill the muffin cups or liners properly, according to the recipe. If you overfill the cups, the muffins may not cook evenly and could spill over, making a mess in your oven.

Tip #7: Use the Correct Baking Time

Baking time is an essential factor to consider when making apple bran muffins. To ensure that the muffins cook through, it is important to bake them for the amount of time specified in the recipe. You can check if the muffins are cooked by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin, if it comes out clean, the muffins are done.

Tip #8: Allow the Muffins to Rest and Cool

Once the muffins are done baking, it is crucial to allow them to rest and cool before removing them from the muffin tin. This will prevent them from sticking to the tin or falling apart.

Tip #9: Store the Muffins Properly

To keep your apple bran muffins fresh and delicious, it is important to store them properly. You can wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for later use.
Conclusion
In conclusion, making apple bran muffins is a simple and delicious way to enjoy a healthy breakfast or snack. By following these tips, you can ensure that your muffins turn out perfectly every time. Remember to use fresh ingredients, preheat the oven, mix the dry ingredients together first, do not overmix the batter, use muffin liners, fill the cups properly, use the correct baking time, allow the muffins to rest and cool, and store them properly. Happy baking!
