These super moist and healthy muffins top my list of bran muffin recipies. I have them for breakfast all the time Ingredients:
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1 cup all-bran cereal |
1 cup nonfat milk (skim) |
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin |
1 egg, beaten |
1 3/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat nonstick 12 cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Option: Combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl for topping and set aside.
2. Blend cereal and milk in large bowl; set aside for 5 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; Mix well.
3. Whisk pumpkin, egg, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla into softened cereal. Gently fold into flour mixture just until blended. Do not over mix. Spoon 1/3 cup equal amounts of batter into each muffin cup; sprinkle evenly with pecan chips and reserved cinnamon sugar topping.
4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack 3 minutes before removing muffins from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
5. Don't stir muffin batter too much - over mixing will make the muffins tough. There should be lumps in the batter; these will disappear during baking.
6. Makes 12 muffins.
