These are as healthy as a muffin can get in my opinion, without compromising on the tastes! This has whole-wheat flour with a bit of all purpose, flax eggs, honey, apples, lots of seeds and dried cranberries and speckled with cinnamon – the perfect morning bran muffin. Easily made in matter of minutes if you can assemble quickly, and I find 20-25 minutes is just enough baking time.
I also make this in cake tins because it’s so much faster, and slice it up and serve as toast at times. Slather on some butter and honey and ooh la la!
