LOW FAT APPLE BRAN MUFFINS
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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. A sharp cheddar will give the muffins a bolder taste, while a milder cheddar will produce a more subtle flavor.
- Use fresh apples for the best texture and flavor. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when baked.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow in the oven.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
Apple bran cheddar muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They're perfect for on-the-go mornings or for packing in lunches. These muffins are also a good source of fiber and protein, making them a healthy choice for your family.
