Bran Muffins

Before you think I'm crazy for posting a recipe for Bran Muffins, just trust me that they are actually really good! I've had bran muffins in the past and never been a big fan, but these are so tasty, my 5 year old actually thought they were cupcakes. Being the true sweets connoisseur that I am, I wouldn't go that far... but these really are very good!! 

BRAN MUFFINS

1 1/2 Cups Wheat Bran

1 Cup Buttermilk

1/3 Cup  Applesauce

1 Egg

2/3 Cup Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp. Vanilla

1 Cup Flour (I always use whole wheat)

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/2 Cup Raisins (*optional)

Mix all ingredients together. Spray muffin tins with non stick cooking spray. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full and bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

*You can also easily add nuts, or even chocolate chips. My kids (and husband) loved them plain! Also yummy with a little honey drizzled on top!
