Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup dark brown sugar
1 ½ cups oat bran
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup chilled applesauce
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen berries for the best flavor and texture.
  • If using frozen berries, thaw them before adding them to the muffin batter.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the muffins dry and tough.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will also make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow and bake unevenly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first few minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help the muffins rise and brown evenly.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Berry nut bran muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite berries and nuts. These muffins are also a good source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying treat, give berry nut bran muffins a try!
