About these Apple Bran Muffins
Make ahead breakfast: I’m always looking for healthy breakfasts that I can prep ahead of time. In the morning rush, homemade muffins are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast, served with a glass of milk, scrambled eggs, or a cup of yogurt. Fall Vibes: These cinnamon-scented apple bran muffins are so delicious, especially when they’re warm out of the oven. You’ll love how the aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking apples fill the kitchen while these apple bran muffins bake. It’s heavenly! Nutritious: Low in oil and sugar, and high in fiber. They’re a filling breakfast win!
Ingredient Notes
Apple bran muffins are simple to make, nutritious, and so tasty. They are similar to my blueberry bran muffins. How long it takes: 35 minutes Equipment you’ll need: mixing bowl, mixer (optional), muffin tins Servings: makes 12 muffins
Whole Wheat Flour and Bran: This recipe uses whole wheat flour and wheat bran for lots of grainy texture and flavor. You can easily substitute all-purpose flour if you don’t have whole wheat or if you would like a lighter muffin. Oat bran can be substituted for the wheat bran in these bran muffins. Apples: What kind of apples? I use Granny Smith apples because they are tart and stay firm when cooked. Go ahead and use whatever kind of apple you have or like; the results will be similar. The apples can be peeled or unpeeled, chopped or grated, whichever you like best. I usually leave the peels on. They soften during the baking time and are hardly discernible, and apple peels add extra fiber and nutrition. Oil/Greek Yogurt: For this recipe, I use a combination of canola oil and plain Greek yogurt (nonfat, 2%, or whole milk). The muffins turn out amazingly flavorful and are lower in fat than muffins made with butter. You can substitute vegetable oil, light olive oil, or any light-tasting oil you prefer.

Storage Tips
Cool apple bran muffins completely before storing them in an airtight container. They’ll keep at room temperature for a few days, longer if you refrigerate them. Freeze muffins in freezer-safe containers or bags for up to 3 months. They thaw quickly, and are handy for lunchboxes or a quick snack.
