Another Low Calorie Bran Muffin Recipe Recipe

Craving a delicious, healthy bran muffin without the guilt? This recipe delivers! I combined several techniques to create a low-calorie (around 100 calories per muffin!) bran muffin that tastes surprisingly like the traditional version. Using a blend of oat and wheat bran (you choose!), this recipe is packed with fiber and flavor. Perfect for breakfast or a satisfying snack, these muffins will become your new favorite! Note: Oat bran adds more calories than wheat bran, so adjust your blend to manage calorie intake.

How to Make Another Low Calorie Bran Muffin Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon white vinegar and 1 cup skim milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to sour.
  4. Add the soured milk to 1 1/2 cups bran (any combination of oat and wheat bran).
  5. Let the bran mixture stand for 10 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup Splenda (or other granulated sweetener), 1 tablespoon molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add this wet mixture to the bran and milk mixture.
  7. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Gently fold in 1/2 cup raisins (or other dried fruit). Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  10. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
