I haven’t but it could be worth a try. They just may be denser.

Sarah,

Wheat bran is just that, The bran of the wheat. This may help. http://www.wheatfoods.org/AboutWheat-what-is-wheat/Index.htm

As for the molasses… I like to experiment and try to reduce the amount of sugar in my recipes. It’s just a personal preference.

Hope that helps!

what is wheat bran? ive never used it before- could i possibly use ground up fiber one original cereal instead? also- i’m curious as to why you used the molasses instead of brown sugar?
thanks!

Anyone tried grating the apple to avoid the chunks? My toddler loves some sweetrolls that I make, and they have grated apple. You keep the moisture and taste w/out the “chunky surprise”. I may try and get back to you… Roni, I’ve only looked at your recipes for about 20 minutes, but I love the look of them so far and have noted 4 I want to try right away. Thanks!!!

I made these the other day and I really liked them. I put the extra in the fridge and have been heating them up in the microwave.

I just made these and they were delicious! I added 1 cup of blueberries which made the muffins extremely moist! I look forward to experimenting with some other additions. And it was not necessary to peel the apple, which make the prep work much easier.

Another great recipe, Roni (& Krista). I made these this morning and added some raisins…they came out fantastic! Toddler & Husband approved on this end. ;) Thank you so much.

Fabulous!! I found this recipe the other day, and since it’s Saturday (sleep in) morning, I decided to make them! Absolutely delicious!!

These look great. (and only 1 point!) I just discovered your blog about a month ago and I’ve been cooking up a storm. Thanks so much for all the great recipe ideas.

I had one thought: (might be hard to do, but I just thought I’d throw it out there) I would love to be able to save the recipes that I want to make (or made and loved.) Anyway to have a sign-in section and an ability to save a “favorites” page?

Off to the grocery store for wheat bran :)

What do you think about using Grape-Nuts instead of wheat bran?

I will have to try these. I so love that you use wt measurements in your recipes. Thanks so much for posting this way. This reminds me that I have not made your banana muffins for a while.

I may have to try these, but I like enormous (bakery sized) muffins. lol So I’d probably end up getting only 5 or 6. :P

Do you have low fat/low cal recipes for chocolate muffins? Preferably without banana.. :)

Glad you guys liked them! I thought they were too sweet with 3 T honey, too, so I think I’ll cut it down to 2 next time and see how it goes. I love the change out of brown sugar to molasses. I wanted to do that, too, but wasn’t sure of the measurement! My kids didn’t like the raisins (1/4 c) in mine or the apples, so the Other Half and I were the sole recipients of the muffins. I really like how they stay moist even after a couple of days.

I used a regular sized pan! But now that I looked at the pics they do look small! LOL

Is this a regular sized muffin or mini? I ALWAYS make and have on hand your mini blueberry bran muffins. I make a batch or two and freeze them. They are great for breakfast or a snack because they are truly filling!

I’m not one for chunks either, still and I liked these. The apple got real soft. So you may want to try it.

If not have you seen this one.. http://greenlitebites.com/2007/11/10/100-whole-wheat-banana-nut-muffins/

It’s still my go to for muffins. :)

I’ve been wanting to make a healthy muffin I could have for breakfast…so thank you! But since I’m kinda with the toddler on the fruit chunks, do you think I could sub banana? Or maybe I could just be a grown up and try it as directed :-)

Sounds yummy! Any ideas on what the yogurt could be replaced with to make these vegan?
