Fruit and Bran make a wonderful muffin

posted in: food | 0

Moist, healthy, filling, fruit: what more could you want in a morning muffin?

I have tons of recipes that I’ve torn out of magazines over the years and I’m trying to actually cook through them. Now that I have someone to cook for it makes it a little easier (and I always need ideas)!

These were very moist and have plenty of fruit and fiber in them. And they are under 200 calories.

1 1/2 cup all bran (the cereal)

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

3 T sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon

1 egg

3/4 cup buttermilk

1/2 ripe banana, mashed

1/4 cup molasses

2 T oil

1 apple, tart, chopped

1/2 cup frozen blueberries (don’t thaw) - use you can use fresh

Combine first ingredients (through the cinnamon). Mix the wet ingredients. Mix together with dry. Fold in apple and blueberries. Bake in greased muffin tins, fill 3/4 of the way, bake at 350 for about 23 minutes, give or take. Cook for 5 minutes, then cool on rack. Serve warm.
