Oat Bran Muffins With Dried Fruit Recipes

Steps:

• Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine the fruit, oats, oat bran, flour, banana, brown sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a food processor.
• Pulse until mixture is just blended, then transfer to a bowl.
• Combine milk, orange juice, egg whites, oil and orange zest in another bowl.
• Add the milk mixture to the dried fruit mixture; stir just until blended.
• Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling two-thirds full.
• Bake 15 minutes or until the surface of the muffins are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Remove from pan and cool on a rack for 10 minutes before serving.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line or grease 12 muffin cups.
• Blend together brown sugar, oat bran, flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add eggs, chilled applesauce, and vegetable oil. Mix until well-blended. Spoon batter into muffin cups. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• VARIATIONS: Add 1 cup plumped raisins, with a little bit of raisin water (approximately 2 tablespoons). Or, before baking, sprinkle mixture of sugar and cinnamon over the tops of the muffins. Or, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg to flour mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180c).
• In one bowl combine all of the dry ingredients - oat bran, oatmeal, fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a second bowl, lightly beat the egg whites by hand. Whisk in the yogurt, oil, applesauce and brown sugar. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just mix. Do not over beat as it will result in a tough lumpy muffin.
• Spoon batter into lightly sprayed muffin tin. (Use paper liners if you prefer.) Bake 33 to 38 minutes, toothpick should be clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper muffin liners, and spray liners with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, mix the oat bran, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, blend the applesauce, egg substitute, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Thoroughly mix the applesauce mixture into the flour mixture. Fold in the blueberries and pecans. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle batter with granola, and press granola lightly to make it stick.
• Bake 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper bake cups. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flours, oat bran, raisins, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg substitute, and oil. Pour into the flour mixture, stirring until the batter is just moistened but no flour is visible. Don't overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup.
• Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Let the muffins cool completely before removing the paper bake cups. This will keep the paper from sticking and pulling off part of the muffin.
