These mini apple cider muffins are delicious and healthy little bites for breakfast or just a snack.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 0.75 cups bran cereal , such as General Mills® Fiber One®
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tart apple , peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 cups cold apple cider
  • 0.5 cups applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray two 24-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Place bran cereal in the bowl of a food processor; process until ground to a flour-like consistency. Transfer to a large bowl. Add flour, apple, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt; toss to combine.

  3. 3

    Mix together apple cider, applesauce, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to the apple cider mixture and gently mix until combined; batter will appear runny. Allow to rest while baking soda and apple cider cause batter to thicken and double in size, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Scoop a small amount of batter into the prepared muffin cups.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.
