LOW FAT APPLE BRAN MUFFINS
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.

LOW FAT (BUT TASTY!) BUTTERMILK APPLE BRAN MUFFINS WW FRIENDLY
A healthier variation of my Recipe #101530. I have found they are a perfect WW 2 Points Plus snack after a workout. (They are 3 points plus with the oats added.) They also are very good for keeping your system regular when you are limiting your fat intake. ;) You can keep the batter in the refrigerator for several days and bake them as you need them, but they also freeze really well. (If you don't have fat free buttermilk, place 2 Tbls. of vinegar or lemon juice in a measuring cup then add low fat milk until it totals 2 cups altogether.) Sometimes I get bored with the original plain muffins and add some or all of the optional ingredients. I've also started adding 1 cup of old fashioned oats to mimic nuts in the muffins. They are delicious with WW's cream cheese on them too. PLEASE NOTE: wheat bran is NOT cereal. I buy mine at the bulk food store, and it looks like sawdust. Oat bran can be used in its place but the muffins aren't as tasty IMHO.

Steps:
- Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Add the applesauce, buttermilk, eggs and molasses; mix well. Gently mix in chopped apple.
- Bake in greased muffin pan at 350°F for 15-17 minutes or until tests done with a toothpick.
Tips:
- For a healthier muffin, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have any applesauce, you can use mashed bananas or pumpkin puree instead.
- To make the muffins even lower in fat, use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
- Be sure to not over-mix the batter, as this will make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full, as the muffins will rise during baking.
- If you want a crispy muffin top, sprinkle the tops with a little bit of sugar before baking.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
