Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Apple Fig Bran Muffins egg and dairy free 1 1/2 cups all bran cereal 1 1/4 cups apple juice 1 large apple 3/4 cup chopped black figs, about 3 tbsps. vegetable oil 3 tbsps. applesauce, unsweetened 1 cup all purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 2 tsps baking powder 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine cereal and apple juice in large bowl. Let stand as you peel, core, and grate apple and chop figs. Add both along with oil and apple sauce. Sift dry ingredients into mixtue and stir to make batter. Fill cups of oiled muffin pan or baking cups and bake about 18 minutes. Muffins are done when toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Between the figs and the bran, these are high in fiber, and with only 3 tbsps. of oil, they're lower in fat than the muffins on the back of the All Bran box, and very tasty. They're not dry or bland, but for an even sweeter muffin without additional fat, you could whip up a simple glaze with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tbsp. vanilla extract and 1 tbsp. skim milk. Just whisk them together and pour over the muffins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
