Instructions
For the muffins:
- Preheat oven to 400˚F (204˚C). Spray 16 muffin cups with non-stick spray (Or see tip above for making a small loaf of bread in addition to 12 muffins.)
- Whisk together oil, sugar and eggs in a large bowl until well blended. Add molasses, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt over the top of the egg mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Add the wheat bran, whole wheat and all-purpose flours. Stir just until all of the flour mixture is incorporated (do not overmix). Add apples and stir to combine.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling almost to the top. Bake for 12-15 minutes until firm to touch and a tester comes out clean.
- Allow to sit in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then remove to a cool rack.
For the glaze:
- Combine butter and honey in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a paper towel and cook in the microwave on high power for 20-30 seconds until the butter is melted. Stir well with a fork to combine. Brush mixture over the top surface of warm muffins.
- Serve warm or allow the muffins to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- For more detailed instructions and lots of tips to ensure success, check out the Café Tips above in the post.
- To make these muffins gluten-free, simply switch the wheat bran to oat bran and use your favorite brand of cup-to-cup gluten-free flour for both the whole wheat and all-purpose flour (in other words, use 1¾ cup of GF cup-for-cup flour. I've used King Arthur's Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour with delicious success!
