Healthy Muffin Recipe: Apple Oat Bran Muffin Recipe

Looking for a healthy muffin recipe for that both you and your family will love?

This oat bran muffin recipe fills the bill, with whole wheat flour, oat bran, bits of apple, milk and raisins.

If you need to use non-dairy “milk”, I have made muffins with almond milk and oat milk. Both of them worked out well in the many different muffins recipes I have tried.

There is very little sugar used in this recipe – just a couple of tablespoons plus a touch of honey.

This is a VERY healthy muffin recipe. The kids will love this muffin recipe and so will you.

Tips and Variations:

• Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for extra crunch and even better nutritional value.
• Do not overmix the muffin batter! When you add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix them together only enough to make sure everything is moistened. Overmixing produces a less tender muffin.

Oat bran is a very healthy ingredient and great especially for diabetics. It has been shown that oats and oat bran can help control blood sugar. That makes this recipe, with little sugar, a good diabetic recipe.

Of course, If you are diabetic and need to, you can adjust this recipe by replacing the little bit of brown sugar with something like Stevia, or coconut sugar, both natural sweeteners.
