Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-bran cereal
1 cup nonfat milk
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup chopped dried apples (about 3 ounces)
Nonstick vegetable oil spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix cereal, milk, applesauce, oil and egg in large bowl. Let stand 10 minutes to soften bran.

Tips:

  • If you don't have any bran on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of whole wheat flour.
  • The honey drizzle is optional, but it adds a delicious sweetness to the muffins. If you don't have any honey, you can substitute an equal amount of maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • These muffins are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
