Bran & Apple Muffins

These bran muffins are nutritious and delicious.  You can mix them together in about 10 minutes while the oven is heating up. 

Make approximately 18 muffins

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups wheat bran
3/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoons raw sugar
2 cups plain yogurt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 medium apple, peeled, cored and shredded

Preheat oven to 425° F (220° C).

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, wheat bran, salt, baking soda and sugar.

In a larger bowl, combine the yogurt, egg, honey and butter.  Add the dry ingredients and fold in until everything comes together.  Be careful not to overmix.  Gently fold in the shredded apple.

Fill each cup of a greased muffin tin 3/4 full with batter.  Bake 10-15 minutes, until muffins are golden on top and cooked through. 

Tip:  If using paper muffin liners, the muffins will really stick to the paper.  I use silicon muffin cups or grease the muffin pan prior to use.
