Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups bran flakes -- or similar flaked cereal Note 1
1 cup whole wheat flour -- or all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons coconut oil -- melted, Note 2
1 apple -- grated
Rich in whole grain, fiber, warm spices and fresh fruit, these
Healthy Apple Muffins are an easy snack or nourishing breakfast to
stash in your freezer!
Note 1: like Total, Wheaties, or Raisin Bran
Note 2: or butter or other mild tasting oil of choice
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a muffin tin with 9 nonstick liners or
spray 9 cups with nonstick spray. If using paper liners, I suggest
giving the liners a spritz with the nonstick spray, just to make sure
that the muffin doesn't stick to the paper.
In a large bowl, stir together cereal, flour, baking powder,
cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, maple syrup and oil. Add to
the flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
Gently fold in the grated apple.
Divide the batter evenly between the 9 muffin cups. Bake for 20
minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
Notes: Sweeten up! Since these muffins are only slightly sweet, you
can add more maple syrup if you prefer a more decadent taste.
I like to think of this fall muffin recipe as a foundation for any
toppings that you desire. Top the muffins with butter, jam, peanut
butter, or almond butter. Drizzle them with honey, or crumble them
over a bowl of yogurt.
These muffins are made with oil and no butter. If you want to
decrease the amount of fat used in the recipe (even though the fat
content is already low), you can swap out the oil for an equal amount
of applesauce.
Throw in some extras! A handful of chopped walnuts or pecans would be
a great addition to this recipe. Dates or raisins would also be
delicious. Try dried cherries, shredded coconut, chocolate chips or
anything else that you can find in the pantry!
Be careful not to over-mix the batter or your muffins will turn out
tough and dry.
I like to use an ice cream scoop to divide my batter evenly among the
muffin cups. This ensures that each muffin is the same size and
therefore bakes in the same amount of time.
