Jessica's Banana Apple Bran Muffins

These muffins are super moist, with a surprisingly light texture. They are lightly fruity from the banana and apple, and have just the right amount of raisins.

Ingredients

for the banana apple bran muffins:
  • ½ c. raisins or dried blueberries or cranberries
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ c. milk
  • 1.5 c. bran cereal I used Kellogg's All-Bran Original
  • 2 T. unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ c. shredded Granny Smith apple from 2 small or 1 extra large apple
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • ½ c. honey
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  2. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with paper cupcake liners. Set aside.
  3. Place raisins in a small bowl and add enough water to cover. Microwave for 1 minute to plump them up. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the egg with the milk, and then stir in the bran cereal. Let mixture stand for 5 minutes, until cereal absorbs the liquid and breaks down. Fold in the raisins, butter, apple, banana, honey, and vanilla. Then add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, stirring to combine completely. Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon sugar sprinkle ingredients. Sprinkle over the muffin batter.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool.
