Meet the Cook: This recipe dates back to when our two girls - now 15 and 12 - were in preschool and it was my turn to bring a snack for the class. My husband especially asks for the muffins in winter. Crafts and reading are my hobbies. -Nancy Brown, Klamath Falls, Oregon

FIBER-LICIOUS SIX WEEK MUFFINS (RAISIN BRAN & FLAX)



Fiber-Licious Six Week Muffins (Raisin Bran & Flax) image

This version comes from my extremely health-conscious sister-in-law, who passed on her version as well as her mom's. It seems to double some of the similar recipes here, by adding add'l dry ingredients (more raisins, flax meal, whole wheat flour) and moist (oil AND applesauce, more buttermilk). Larger batch, but batter keeps in fridge for 6 weeks - so her family happily eats "fresh baked" muffins every morning! ________ Note on flax meal: You can make your own by grinding flax seeds in a coffee grinder. Since flax can go rancid, I keep seeds in the freezer, then grind them, then store any extra "meal" back in the freezer.

APPLE RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS (WITH FLAX SEED)



APPLE RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS (WITH FLAX SEED) image

Categories     Fruit     Breakfast     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Muffin     Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cup raisin bran
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon milled flax seed
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup margarine
2 apples, peeled and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients into large bowl. Combine wet ingredients into smaller bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Spoon into greased muffin tins up to the lip of the tin. Bake 15-30 minutes, depending on altitude (the higher the altitude, the longer you'll need to cook them). To keep the ultimate amount of moisture while storing, place the muffins into a ziplock bag immediately after removing them from the oven (while still piping hot). Note: If you don't have flax seed, add another egg and don't add the 3 tablespoons of water. Note: The brown sugar can be substituted with the same amount of maple syrup.

Tips:

  • For added flavor and texture, use a combination of different types of raisins, such as golden raisins, black raisins, and sultanas.
  • If you don't have flaxseed meal, you can grind whole flaxseeds in a coffee grinder or food processor.
  • Feel free to add other mix-ins to your muffins, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
  • For a sweeter muffin, increase the amount of sugar in the recipe.
  • To make sure your muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.

Conclusion:

Apple raisin bran muffins with flax seed are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy these delicious muffins in no time. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying treat, give these muffins a try.
