This recipe makes delicious, healthy and versatile muffins. I have tried cranberries, apple pieces, almonds and macadamias as well. You can use any fruit or nut that you especially like.

Time 40m

Yield 15-17 muffins, 15-17 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup oat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup dried fruit
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (or any other nut)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
  • Grease muffin tin (I like to use a silicone muffin pan) or line muffin tin with paper cups.
  • Whisk together flours, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.
  • Lightly beat the egg and egg whites. Stir in the buttermilk, applesauce, almond and vanilla extracts, brown sugar, and oil.
  • Stir the liquids into the dry ingredients, until almost combined (batter will be thick), being careful not to over-mix. Gently stir in the dried fruit and nuts.
  • Fill muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake until tester is clean, about 23 minutes.
  • After a few minutes, remove muffins from the pan, and cool on a rack. You can serve them room temperature, or re-warm them in a toaster oven.
