Apple Bran Muffins for Two Recipe Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Beckylynn

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup All-Bran
2/3 cup peeled tart apple, shredded
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup raisins

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, brown sugar, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in remaining ingredients. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apples for the best flavor and texture. You can use any variety of apple, but Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices.
  • If you don't have bran cereal, you can use rolled oats or whole wheat flour instead.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them rise quickly and develop a tender crumb.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Apple bran muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With their tender crumb, sweet apple flavor, and crunchy bran topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
