This is a nice change from a plain bran muffin. It's somewhat healthier, because it's made with yogurt. I always double the cinnamon sugar on top (personal preference). Sometimes I add some chopped pecans (or walnuts). Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you - these come together fast.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 cup plain yogurt (i use vanilla, it's what i have in the fridge)
1/3 cup apple juice
1 apple, unpeeled & chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400*. Mix flours, bran, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda & salt together in a large bowl.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar and oil. Stir in the yogurt, apple juice & apple.
3. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just moistened.
4. Spoon into greased (I use cooking spray) muffin tins, filling each to the top.
5. TOPPING: Mix together & sprinkle over muffins before baking.
6. Bake 400* for 18-20 minutes until firm to touch.
