No Sugar Fruit Nut Bran Muffins Recipes

THE HEALTHIEST BANANA BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the bottom of a muffin pan or use muffin liners.
• Mix all the wet ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
• Stir all the dry ingredients together in a different bowl, then stir in the wet ingredients until combined. Avoid overmixing.
• Transfer to the prepared muffin pan, making 12 muffins. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let them cool a few minutes before removing from the pan.

SUGARLESS ALL-BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1. Add All-Bran to bowl and mix in buttermilk, let set 30 min. mash bananas in same bowl, add oil and eggs.
• 2. In separate bowl add flour, salt and baking powder mix well, add walnuts and Craisins toss to coat. (This helps separate nuts and fruit when added to cereal)
• 3. After cereal mixture has softened and flour mixture, mix well, pour into greased muffin pans (I use 6 extra large, will make 8 regular size muffins).
• 4. Bake extra large muffins 25 min and regular size 20 min, in preheated 400* oven. I usually do not preheat my oven until I'm almost ready to bake as it heats up very fast, this will vary depending on your oven. Hope you enjoy. I have also added 1/2 chopped fresh apple, which is very tasty, you can also change nuts and type of dried fruit.

NO SUGAR-FRUIT NUT BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly coat regular sized 12-muffin tin with oil or use recycled paper cups.
• Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and the wet ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix to just combined (do not over mix or muffins will become tough).
• Gently pour in the fruits and nuts until folded. You can use any combination of dried fruits and nuts to equal almost 2 cups. When I make them, I love this combination: 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/3 cup sliced almonds, 1/3 cup pecan bits, 1/3 cup raisins, 1/3 cup cherries.
• Scoop batter into muffin tins, until all of the batter is used and evenly dispersed (should fill to top).
• Bake 18-25 minutes or until the top springs back when you press down with your finger.
• Let cool before eating, if you can wait that long, and enjoy.

FRUIT AND NUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, raisins and nuts; set aside. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil and vanilla; stir into apple mixture. Combine dry ingredients; carefully fold into apple mixture. Do not overmix. Fill 18 greased muffin cups almost to the top. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until muffins test done.

BANANA OAT BRAN MUFFINS WITH NO ADDED SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F Spray your muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Combine the dry ingredients in 1 bowl.
• In another mix the banana, the milk, egg whites, and oil together until they are well combined.
• Add the wet to the dry and mix until it is combined. Then add the raisins and combine.
• Put them into the muffin tins.
• Bake for 18-25 minutes or until golden.

HIGH FIBER SUGAR FREE BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Stir together flour, splenda, powdered milk, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine bran cereal, oatmeal and skim milk. Cover bran and oatmeal with as much of the liquid as possible and let stand for about 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
• Once bran is softened, add egg, oil, fruit and/or nut mixture, beat well. (You don't need an electric mixer, wooden spoon works fine) Add the flour mixture, stirring "only" until combined. DO NOT OVER MIX! Batter will be lumpy. Put even amounts of batter into 12 muffin tins that you coated with non-fat cooking spray.
• Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
