How to Make Double Apple Bran Muffins Cooking Light

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg white until well blended.
  5. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup applesauce, 1 tablespoon molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until just combined.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup bran cereal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  8. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples.
  9. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  10. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired.
  11. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
