• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 cup cake flour
• 1 cup wheat bran
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 egg whites
• 1⁄4 cup molasses
• 3⁄4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1⁄4 cup evaporated skim milk
• 1⁄2 cup raspberries, frozen (thawed)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Line muffin tins with liners or spray with cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, bran, baking powder and baking soda until well mixed.
4. In a medium size bowl, whisk the egg whites, and molasses until frothy.
5. Whisk in the applesauce and milk.
6. Pour the liquid mixture in with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, but do not over stir. (if desired, this can be left in the refrigerator over night, covered.) The fruit should not be added until just before baking.

Truly wonderful, feel like eating them all at one go:)

I dislike bran very much, but due to my grandamas diet restrictions she needs certain foods. These were some of the best bran muffins she's ever had, not to mention that I liked them too! I did. however, add a 1/2 cup more raspberries.

I liked the texture, but it had too much molasses flavor for me. But, even with that my kids still ate them!!

I used oat bran for the wheat bran. These were not as sweet as I expected them to be, but it may have been my berries. Pretty color muffins and they had a nice taste.

I goofed and added extra raspberries (I think I added more than I realized) which made the muffins fall apart a little when I tried to remove them from the tin, but that was totally my fault. These have terrific flavor and are surprisingly sweet between the molasses and applesauce. I used 1 whole egg rather than whites and used 1 Tbs cornstarch plus enough whole wheat pastry flour to fill the rest of the 1 cup called for. The muffins themselves are very delicious (but I do love bran muffins!) and don't have a terribly stong bran flavor. I got 8 muffins, but this may be because I added probably double the berries (don't do it!!). I will make these again, with the amount of berries called for only. Maybe I will try adding some vanilla extract or subbing some raspberry preserves for some of the applesauce or something next time. Thanks for posting! These really are tasty!
