Oat Bran Muffins- An After-School Snack

I mixed up a batch of these before picking-up the kids from school, and brought them along with me. They devoured them! And asked for more! Often oat or wheat bran muffins are way too loaded with other "healthful ingredients", that they become as a dense health-bar and they lose some of their appeal. These muffins are simple and pure and.... kid-approved!



Oat Bran Muffins

1 1/2 C oat bran
1 1/2 C flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 C sugar
1 1/2 C low fat buttermilk
3 Tbs canola oil
3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.

Whisk together the dry ingredients(bran through sugar) in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix just until wet. Do not over mix. If desired, add blueberries and gently fold in without overmixing.

Fill the muffin cups. Bake 12-16 minutes, until set and golden.

Makes 18 muffins.


Add blueberries to the mix and your kids will love them even more. If you have a favorite bran muffin recipe please share it!
