GRANNY SMITH APPLE-RAISIN CHUNKY YUMMY MUFFINS

Granny Smith Apple-raisin Chunky Yummy Muffins image

This is my absolute favorite recipe for muffins because they are healthy, yet sweet, and have lots of substance. Definitely an oatmeal kind of stick-to-your-ribs breakfast (or snack). I usually make a double batch and keep them in the fridge in a big ziplock bag for whenever the urge hits anyone. My little brother's girlfriend can't wait till I make them again.

Time 30m

Yield 15-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Raisin Bran cereal (extra raisin kind is even better or just add more raisins if you want)
1 cup milk (I use lowfat, of course)
1/4 cup canola oil
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups finely chopped peeled granny smith apples (about 2 small)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1/2 cup pecans (optional)
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 farenheit.
Spray regular-size muffin tins w/ nonstick spray.
Combine raisin bran, milk, oil, eggs, & vanilla and let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon.
Stir cereal mixture to even and add all at once to flour mixture; stirring just till moistened.
Spoon evenly into prepared tins.
Bake 16-18 minutes for regular size or 10-12 minutes for mini muffins.
Test with toothpick inserted in center of muffin, when clean, they're done.
Remove muffins from tins and place in big bowl lined w/ towel for serving or in ziplock after cooling.

Tips:

Use the right type of apples: For best flavor, choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well when baked and provide a nice contrast to the sweet muffin batter.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no more.
Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
Let the muffins cool before serving: This will allow them to set properly and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These chunky apple muffins are the perfect fall treat. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
