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.

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!

UPPER CRUST BAKERY APPLE-BRAN MUFFINS



Upper Crust Bakery Apple-bran Muffins image

This is an adaptation of a recipe from the Upper Crust Bakery, in Cambria Pines, California; which is located just off the Central California Coast, near Hearst Castle. I visited the bakery several years ago, and had these bran muffins. They are the best I've tasted and are healthful to boot. There were so many requests that the recipe was published in the local newspaper. Don't be too put off by the long list of ingredients; the batter can be kept refrigerated for about a week before you bake them; and it does make 24 muffins. Also they freeze well. The're worth the extra effort for a special occasion.

Steps:

  • In a large bowl blend together the first ten (dry) ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (wet ingredients), and mix well.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients, and mix until the dry ingredients are just moistened.
  • Do not overmix.
  • Refrigerate batter overnight.
  • Muffin batter can be kept refrigerated for about 1 week.
  • To bake, spray the top of the muffin pan (s) with non-stick spray.
  • Line the cups with paper liners.
  • Fill each cup to the rim with muffin batter.
  • Bake at 400 degree F.
  • 25-30 minutes.
  • Muffins are done when firm and just lightly colored around edges.
  • The tops will overflow when baked to meet other muffins.
  • Cut apart to serve.
  • For standard size muffins, fill cups 2/3 full.
  • Brush tops with warm honey, if desired, while still warm.
  • Makes about 24 muffins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice for apple bran muffins because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that balances the sweetness of the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Line the muffin tins with paper liners. This will help the muffins to come out of the tins easily.
  • Fill the muffin tins to the top. This will help the muffins to rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first few minutes. This will help them to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Reduce the oven temperature after the first few minutes. This will help the muffins to finish baking without overbrowning.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Apple bran muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast food. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy treat, give these muffins a try!
