Fruit & Veggie Breakfast Bran Muffins
(12 servings) Printable Version
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 Tablespoon oat bran
- 2 Tablespoons wheat germ
- 1/2 cup bran flakes cereal OR Old Fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (plus extra for topping)
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup (plus 1 Tablespoon) milk
- 3/4 cup grated carrots and/or zucchini
- 3/4 cup fresh or dried fruit - finely chopped (apples/pears/pineapple/dates etc.)
How To Make Fruit & Veggie Bran Muffins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 24 cup mini muffin pan with paper liners (or use 12 regular sized muffin papers).
Whisk the flours and all dry ingredients together; set aside. Beat the egg, brown sugar and olive oil in a bowl until smooth. Add the vanilla, milk, fruit and vegetables and mix well. Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and mix until just blended.
Spoon batter into the muffin cups, until they are about 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar if desired.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack.
Decorating Note From Mr Breakfast
To give these healthy muffins more of a fun look, I used white icing, chocolate chips and sliced almonds to make them look like Teddy Bears. Kind of fun, right?
These muffins get an extra burst of nutrition and flavor from grated carrots and/or zucchini. You can adjust the recipe by using the fresh or dried fruits you most prefer.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank HollywoodBacon for this recipe.

The grated carrot made them nice and moist. Took a long time to get the ingredients together, but once I was committed it moved along pretty quick. I'd make them again.
