Applesauce Flax Bran Muffins

Most recipes for bran muffins that I have tried were dry and tasted somewhat like I think compressed sawdust would taste like.  As a matter of fact, I think some of the store bought ones were compressed sawdust!

I looked at different muffin recipes to get some basic ratios of items, did a little experimenting, and this is what I came up with.  I hope you like it.


3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
3/4 cup Flaxseeds Meal
3/4 cup Rolled Oats Cereal
3/4 cup Sugar
1-1/2   tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
2   tsp Saigon Cinnamon

3/4 cup Applesauce
3/4 cup Milk
2 Tbspn Molasses
1 Beaten Egg
2 tsp Vanilla

Preheat Oven to 350*F
Line muffin tin with paper liners or oil cups lightly
Mix dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients.
Combine and stir
until ingredients are moistened.
DO NOT OVERMIX.
Fill muffin cup 3/4 full and bake @ 350*F for 15-20 mins.

You can add 1/2 cup or so of raisins, dried cranberry, chocolate chips, whatever else you desire to change the recipe around so it's not the same all the time.  :-)
