BUTTERMILK BRAN MUFFINS



Buttermilk Bran Muffins image

These bran muffins bake up moist and chewy. They're so good that my in-laws, Reed and Nancy, make a batch every couple of days for snacking. This is another recipe that shows how buttermilk works to tenderize and lighten many baked goods. Bran retains much of its natural oil and can quickly turn rancid, so always store it in the refrigerator or freezer. I like to use unprocessed sugar crystals (don't confuse this with brown sugar) to complement the bran's whole grain taste. Each muffin has over 2 grams of fiber.

BUTTERMILK BRAN MUFFINS



Buttermilk Bran Muffins image

The first time I had these I was 9 and staying at someone's house. When the lady said she was making Bran Muffins for breakfast I was pretty sure I was going to have a miserable meal. Boy was I wrong!! These are fantastic! I usually cut back on the sugar some as they are a bit on the sweet side if made according to the recipe. The batter keeps very well in the refrigerator, for a week or so, so you can bake fresh each morning as many muffins as you need. If you are watching your fat intake, try my Recipe #101631.

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.

BUTTERMILK BRAN MUFFINS



Buttermilk Bran Muffins image

These can be made with wheat bran, oat bran or a combination. I think they are best when made with half oat and half wheat bran. To make them a bit healthier, I usually cut the oil in half and sub applesauce or other fruit puree. I also now tend to use all whole wheat flour instead of the combination of all purpose and whole wheat. These are dark, moist, spicy muffins that remind me a bit of gingerbread. They are best served warm from the oven or reheated.
