ANOTHER LOW-CALORIE BRAN MUFFIN RECIPE



Another Low-Calorie Bran Muffin Recipe image

I was looking for a low calorie healthy bran muffin recipe that tasted like a traditional bran muffin, and finally came up with a sort of "Frankenstein monster" conglomeration of a basic recipe with several substitutions. They turned out great and at around 100 calories per muffin they have become my favorite. NOTE: You can use any combination of oat bran and wheat bran to make the 1 1/2 cups bran. Oat bran has its own benefits, but adds more calories.

These are delicious little gems, even my boyfriend who detests low fat foods loves them! I'm extremely health conscious so these are perfect with almost no fat, and are super healthy because of the bran. They turn out super moist and delicious and reheat well in the microwave.
