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.

SUPER YUMMY LOW FAT BRAN MUFFINS
These are delicious little gems, even my boyfriend who detests low fat foods loves them! I'm extremely health conscious so these are perfect with almost no fat, and are super healthy because of the bran. They turn out super moist and delicious and reheat well in the microwave. You can substitute whole wheat flour for white if you wish and they will still be delicious. Adding raisins make them tasty too. Got this one off of the Kraft website.

LOW-FAT APPLE SPICE MUFFINS
What I like the most about these muffins is that the spices make the muffin what it is. The raw cane sugar and whole wheat pastry flour are the best to use because they are the least processed ingredients available and retain more of their natural goodness. The chunky apple bits give me more for my bite and add another level of sweetness to the muffin. These make a great breakfast or brunch item, or you can have one with a cup of coffee and unwind! Enjoy!

LOW FAT CARROT BRAN MUFFINS
Wonderful carrot bran muffins that are low in fat, yet, I find, taste almost buttery. They have a wonderful moist yet fluffy texture, and not too sweet delicious cinnamon flavour and aroma. The batter is quite thin, which creates smooth domed muffin tops. I have always made these with the soured milk instead of buttermilk. And yes, there really is 1 tbsp cinnamon in this recipe, it is not a typo! NOTE: Do not use muffin liners with this recipe - they are too moist and delicate for them so the muffins will stick to the liner.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cereal, raisins (you may add the raisins in with the wet ingredients if you prefer), sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a large bowl, combine egg, milk, margarine, applesauce, carrot and orange rind.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Spoon into sprayed or lightly greased muffin tin (for 12 muffins) - Do NOT use paper muffin liners.

Tips for Baking Low-Fat Muffins:
- Use unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana as a butter substitute. This will add moisture and sweetness to your muffins without the added fat.
- Choose whole wheat flour or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Whole grains are higher in fiber and nutrients, and they will make your muffins more filling.
- Use non-fat milk or almond milk instead of whole milk. This will reduce the fat content of your muffins without sacrificing flavor.
- Add fruits, vegetables, or nuts to your muffins for added flavor and nutrition. This is a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your kids' diets.
- Don't overmix your batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough.
- Bake your muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
Conclusion:
Baking low-fat muffins is a great way to enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. By following these tips, you can make muffins that are low in fat and calories, but still packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're in the mood for a muffin, reach for one of these recipes and enjoy!
