HEARTY WHOLE GRAIN MUFFINS
These muffins are delicious. My very, very picky son loves them for breakfast and doesn't even realize they are full of good things for him. You can easily substitute the grains in the recipe for whatever you prefer or have on hand.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, cover the raisins with water, and set aside to plump. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, dry milk powder, wheat bran, and farina cereal until thoroughly combined.
- Drain water from the raisins. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, then mix in the drained raisins, applesauce, carrot, vegetable oil, and bran cereal. Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture, and briefly mix just to moisten (do not overmix). Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full, and sprinkle each muffin with about 1/2 teaspoon of raw sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are set and the tops are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean. Serve warm.

APPLE-OATMEAL MUFFINS
These muffins are great for a fast breakfast. I also put them in lunch boxes instead of cookies. They become even more moist the next day from the apples.

APPLE WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS (KING ARTHUR FLOUR)
These are moist, dark, and delicious muffins from the King Arthur Flour Company. They keep well, are made of 1/2 whole wheat flour, and have brown sugar sprinkled on top for a crunchy texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can use regular milk + 1 tbsp. of lemon juice or white vinegar. The recipe says it makes 12 muffins, but I usually get about 18. It's a very adaptable recipe and also works well with applesauce and oil rather than butter. You can also throw in 1/4 cup of walnuts, if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with papers and grease the insides of the papers.
- Mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar Beat until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well; stop once to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Mix in the buttermilk gently. (If you over-mix, the buttermilk will cause the mixture to curdle.) Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the apple chunks.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, sprinkling the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar on top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven, cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the tin, then turn them out onto a rack to finish cooling completely.

Tips:
- Choose the right flour: Whole grain flour adds a nutty flavor and more fiber to the muffins, while all-purpose flour produces a lighter texture. For a combination of both, use half whole grain flour and half all-purpose flour.
- Use ripe apples: Ripe apples provide a sweeter, more flavorful muffin. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups almost to the top: This will help the muffins rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack: This will help prevent them from breaking.
Conclusion:
Apple buttermilk muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Whether you choose to make them with whole grain flour or all-purpose flour, ripe apples, and your favorite spices, these muffins are sure to be a hit. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet and satisfying, give this recipe a try.
