Description

Apple carrot muffins combine carrot, apple, bran cereal, buttermilk, walnuts, and cinnamon which bring sweetness and flavor to these easy, hearty muffins.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups bran cereal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
3/4 cup peeled and finely chopped apple
3/4 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2 Whisk bran cereal, flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Beat buttermilk, canola oil, and egg together in a separate bowl; stir into bran cereal mixture. Gently stir in apple, carrot, and walnuts. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool muffins in tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
