Yogurt Bran Muffins (From Fiber One)

"I got this recipe off the side of a Fiber One box... and it's a goodie. You can use pretty much any kind of bran cereal in it, and the addition of different types of yogurt adds subtle shadings of different flavours. I try to match the yogurt to whatever type of additional stuff that I add - 1/2 cup chopped fruit, berries, raisins, nuts, etc. (optional)."

  1. I'm not always inspired to write reviews, but these were really great! Super quick to prepare and they came out of the oven just perfect! They had great rise, they were moist, and they were delicious! Like some others, I used 1 egg (instead of 2 eggs whites) and used applesauce (in place of oil). I will definitely make these again very soon!
     
  2. I made a few changes. I subbed applesauce for the oil, as I do with most of my baking. I used real sugar instead of Splenda. I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose. I added a couple tablespoons strawberry preserves, a lot of raisins, and some walnuts, for flavor. The muffins were very moist and had a great texture. They are not sweet at all, but I don't care for muffins that are more like cupcakes. I think next time I would use blueberries instead of raisins, but I did quite like these. So did my toddlers.
     
  3. These were good! Some changes I made: I used the liquid egg whites (1/3 c.), filled the 1/4 measuring cup half up with applesauce and the rest with the oil; and added a scoop of protien powder in my 1.5 c measuring cup and then filled the rest with the flour. Oh, and I totally forgot the salt b/c I was dealing with a baking powder/baking soda snafu (didn't read close enough). Even with all my changes/mistakes, they were great and I will definately make them again! Can't wait to try some fruit in them next time!
     
  4. Very nice muffins--moist and not too sweet. I had a large container of nonfat plain yogurt I needed to find a use for, and this was the perfect one. I used All-Bran (bran buds) for the cereal and a mashed ripe banana as an "add-in". Since my yogurt was plain, I added about a teaspon of vanilla extract. (I did use 1 whole egg, instead of 2 egg whites, and substitute sugar for the Splenda.) I used the baking cups and found that the muffins really wanted to cling to them while they were still warm; once cooled, though, they came off fine and didn't stick any more than any other muffin. We loved them--thanks for posting!
     
  5. Followed the recipe as directed except used a little more yogurt. When I added the dry ingredients to the wet it was way too dry - basically the consistency of thick cookie dough - and I added more yogurt. The current recipe on the box calls for more liquid. I had to add over a half a cup of milk to give turn this into a thick batter. The taste was just ok, a waste of time and ingredients in my opinion. While I'm a big fan of Fiber One and eat it regularly, I think I like it better as a cereal. Maybe a different fiber cereal and applesauce would yield different results but think I'll stick to a traditional muffin recipe. We only eat sweets occasionally and this was not much of a 'treat'.
