Applesauce Oat Bran Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups oat bran
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup unsweetened applesauce, chilled
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400.
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners, or grease muffin tins.
In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients, including nuts & raisins if using.
In another bowl, mix together vanilla, oil, eggs & applesauce until well blended.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; add wet ingredients & mix until well blended.
Let mixture sit for 10 minutes (for oat bran to absorb some of the liquid).
Spoon mixture into paper-lined muffin cups and bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown & toothpick comes out clean.
Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes; then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
