Cinnamon Apple Bran Muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
  • 3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, indicated by 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C. Next, prepare a muffin tin with 12 cups by lining it with paper inserts.
2
Make the base mixture: Combine dry ingredients such as flour, bran, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Ensure they are well incorporated.
3
Make the wet mixture: In another bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth. Then, pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture bowl and blend just until combined.
4
Add apples to the mixture: Gently fold in chopped apples into the wet and dry mixture until they are evenly distributed.
5
Prepare the streusel topping: In a separate bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to break the butter into small pieces until you achieve a crumbly texture.
6
Add streusel to muffins: Sprinkle about 1 heaping teaspoon of the crumbly mixture on top of each muffin.
7
Bake in the preheated oven: Place the prepared muffins into the oven and bake until they turn golden brown, as indicated by a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin coming out clean. Cooking time should be around 25 to 30 minutes.
