These are probably the best bran muffins I have ever had. Everyone liked them - including kids. We made them for Abagail's preschool. They had fun helping me prepare them and sampling the carrots and apples while they were being grated. Found recipe on Bob's Flaxseed Meal package.
1 1/2 c white flour
3/4 c flaxseed meal
3/4 c oat bran (can get in the bulk section)
1 c brown sugar (I think next time I will try 1/2 cup)
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (didn't add)
2 tsp cinnamon
---
1 1/2 c carrots, shredded
2 apples, peeled and shredded
1/2 c raisins (didn't add)
1 c nuts, chopped (we did walnuts)
---
3/4 c milk
2 eggs beaten (used egg beaters)
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together flour, flaxseed meal, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in carrots, apples, raisins and nuts.
Combine milk, beaten eggs and vanilla.
Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until ingredients are moistened. DO NOT OVER MIX.
Fill muffin cups. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
Yield: 15 medium muffins (I did 12 normal size and 12 mini)
Oat Bran MuffinsSubmitted by Genevieve Beck
I have a recipe I'd like to share. I know a hard part for a few people in our last contest was getting in the whole grains. I love this recipe and two muffins are a whole grain and a fruit. I can only do flour or sugar if it's #5 or lower on the list of ingredients so this recipe is a perfect sweet breakfast for me. I usually eat it with some protein (eggs, yogurt, milk, whatever) and a teaspoon of butter on the muffins. Delicious! ~ Genevieve
Oat Bran Muffins
2 cans of crushed or tidbit pineapple (in its own juice) fruit and juice
1 cup raisins
½ cup applesauce
2 mashed bananas, ripe
¼ cup apple juice concentrate
2 eggs
1 T vanilla
Combine all the above ingredients; set aside
3 cups + 6 T. oat bran (I’ve also used oatmeal and obviously it’s different, but I still like it)
1 cup Splenda (I've only used splenda and I like it, but I imagine you could experiment with other sweeteners)
⅓ cup whole wheat flour
5 t baking powder
2 t salt
1 t baking soda
3 t cinnamon
Combine all dry ingredients together; then combine with wet; stir until well mixed. Spray with Pam or use muffin papers. Fill 24 muffin cups full (very little rising will take place). Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes 24 muffins.
