Serving Size: 12

Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups raisins
• 1 Whole egg
• 0.75 Cups milk
• 1.5 Cups bran cereal
• 1 Cup whole wheat flour
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) baking soda
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 1 Whole apple, shredded
• 1 Whole ripe banana, mashed
• 0.5 Cups honey

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line them with paper cupcake liners.
2. Place the raisins in a microwave-safe bowl and cover them with water. Microwave on high for 1 minute to plump them up. Drain the raisins and set them aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk. Add the bran cereal and let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes until the cereal absorbs the liquid.
4. Gently fold in the plumped raisins, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, melted butter, shredded apple, mashed banana, and honey. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these delicious muffins warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack!
