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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apples: The riper the apples, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Peel and core your apples: This will help to ensure that your muffins have a smooth and even texture.
  • Grate your apples: Grating your apples will help them to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Apple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of muffins that are sure to please everyone.
