Description
Begin your day with a wholesome Bran Muffin with raisins and you will be off to a great start. These high-fiber muffins are made with whole grains, sweet raisins and wheat bran cereal for a nutritious snack or breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cup Kellog’s All Bran Original Cereal (sticks) (about 5.5 ounces)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine All Bran and raisins in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over it and toss with a fork. Let cool, stirring occasionally until the All Bran is broken down and the mixture is lukewarm.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper cupcake liners.
- Add eggs, applesauce, honey, oil and vanilla to the All Bran mixture and stir to combine.
- Stir flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until mixed.
- Add the flour mixture to the bran mixture and stir until evenly moistened.
- Spoon into the prepared muffin tin, the wells will be full, and transfer to the oven. Bake until the muffins are puffed and spring back when lightly touched in the center, 22 to 25 minutes. A wooden skewer or toothpick should come out clean.
- Let cool in the pan 5 minutes, then turn out. Let cool on a wire rack. Freeze or store at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Notes
Make Ahead:
As with most other lower fat whole grain baking recipes we recommend enjoying within 24 hours. Once they are cool, store the muffins in a resealable bag or air-tight container at room temperature. For longer storage freeze up to 6 weeks. Thaw at room temperature or microwave for 25 to 40 seconds and enjoy warm. Do not refreeze.
To Warm Leftovers
Warming up baked goods temporarily reverses staling, so we suggest doing so for muffins made in advance. Heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap muffins in foil and bake until just warm, about 15 minutes. Do not rewarm more than once.
