Peggy Reed of Vergennes, Vermont says her granddaughter Kelsey has always loved cooking. At age 4, Kelsey entered Bran Muffins in a baking contest. "The recipe Kelsey used is great for kids. The ingredients are measured in whole amounts," Peggy explains. "It makes a lot of batter, but it can be stored in the refrigerator so the muffins can be made in batches." By the way, Peggy also entered muffins in the contest, competing against Kelsey. Kelsey won the blue ribbon and Grandma came in second place!

BRAN MUFFINS



Bran Muffins image

These hearty muffins freeze perfectly for up to three months. Use resealable plastic freezer bags or freezer containers.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 paper baking cups or cooking spray to grease pan
1 1/4 cups Fiber One™ cereal or 2 cups bran cereal flakes
1 1/3 cups milk
1/2 cup raisins, if desired
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Place a paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups, or spray just the bottoms of the cups with cooking spray.
  • Place cereal in a resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal the bag. Roll over cereal with a rolling pin or bottle, or press with bottom of small saucepan, to crush cereal into fine crumbs.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the crushed cereal, milk, raisins and vanilla until well mixed. Let stand about 5 minutes or until cereal has softened. Beat in the oil and egg with a fork.
  • In another medium bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon until well mixed. Stir flour mixture into cereal mixture just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Spoon the batter into the cups, dividing batter evenly.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If muffins were baked in paper baking cups, immediately remove from pan to a cooling rack. If muffins were baked in a sprayed pan, leave in pan about 5 minutes, then remove from pan to a cooling rack. Serve warm if desired.

Tips:

  • To ensure moist muffins, use ripe bananas. Mashed bananas not only add natural sweetness but also contribute to the muffins' tenderness.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and wheat bran cereal. This combination provides a good balance of texture and nutrition.
  • Add a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg for a warm and inviting flavor.
  • Feel free to add other mix-ins of your choice, such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full to prevent overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These baby bran muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option for babies and toddlers. They are packed with wholesome ingredients like bananas, wheat bran cereal, and oats, and they are naturally sweetened with honey. Plus, they are easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later. So, if you are looking for a healthy and convenient snack for your little one, give these baby bran muffins a try.
