Fruited Bran Muffins Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 9 Servings

20 20 40

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups All-Bran
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup chopped peeled tart apple
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, banana, molasses and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apple and blueberries.
Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners; fill three-fourths full with batter. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 9 muffins.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

I made theses a few weeks ago for a meeting at work and everyone loved them! I used whole wheat pastry flour to help them rise a little better and fiber one cereal instead of all bran. They turned out great! I will definitely will be making these again!

I've made this recipe three times in the last week. My family can't get enough of them. I was shocked that even my 6 year-old picky eater likes them.

Although these were fairly tasty, the muffins didn't rise much, if at all. Maybe the lack of salt is to blame? I did like the combo of apples, bananas and blueberries.

I have made this recipe 3 times in the last two weeks. Everyone loves them, even the picky 8 year old.
