Low Fat Bran Muffins

Pin It

I love bran muffins, but some recipes I’ve tried produce muffins that are dry and heavy, and not very appealing. This recipe, however, makes muffins that are light and tender, and so delicious that I’d choose them over a regular blueberry muffin any day. Click here to see the original recipe. This is a great recipe for those of us watching our weight, because it’s low fat and loaded with fiber. I prefer to use fresh blueberries, but I didn’t have any on hand this time, so I substituted golden raisins instead. These muffins are very perishable, so I usually freeze any muffins that won’t be consumed in a couple of days. Then I take individual muffins from the freezer and defrost them in the microwave when I’m ready to eat them. This recipe makes 12 muffins.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups wheat bran (not wheat germ)
1 cup low fat milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
