Description

Bran muffins, lightly sweetened with apples and brown sugar. I like to snack on these muffins, they're good, and they're healthy too.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 egg whites
1/2 apple, grated

Directions

1 In a small bowl, combine bran and buttermilk. Set aside to soak for 10 minutes.
2 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease muffin pan, or use paper liners.
3 In a large bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar and baking soda. Stir in bran mixture and egg whites. Fold in grated apple. Divide batter into 12 muffin cups.
4 Bake in preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
