Low Fat Carrot Bran Muffins

Recipe #144826 | 35 min | 15 min prep | add private note

Wonderful carrot bran muffins that are low in fat, yet, I find, taste almost buttery. They have a wonderful moist yet fluffy texture, and not too sweet delicious cinnamon flavour and aroma. The batter is quite thin, which creates smooth domed muffin tops. I have always made these with the soured milk instead of buttermilk. And yes, there really is 1 tbsp cinnamon in this recipe, it is not a typo! NOTE: Do not use muffin liners with this recipe - they are too moist and delicate for them so the muffins will stick to the liner.

12 muffins (change servings and units)

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F.

  5. 5
    Spoon into sprayed or lightly greased muffin tin (for 12 muffins) - Do NOT use paper muffin liners.

The recipe worked beautifully, but this muffin really did not suit my tastes or my kids'. They wouldn't eat them even though they like the other carrot muffins and bran muffins that I make for them.

    These were awesome! Made just a couple of changes - egg beaters for the egg, and I didn't have any buttermilk so I used plain yogurt with a splash of OJ. They turned out perfectly! Much better the second day!!!

    These were SO tasty! Ours didn't rise as much as they should have and ended up a little too chewy inside, but the taste more than made up for that! The most delicious muffin I've ever had! 5 stars!

    Deeeelish Healthy Treat. I loved that these muffins are not too sweet. You will taste the different flavours instead of an overpowering sweetness. I've subed the whole-wheat flour by whole-spelt flour which has a slight nutty flavour and goes so well together with the cinnamon and the carrots. These muffins needs 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, because the carrots and the cereals require a lot. I would recommend to add the orange rind, it adds another fruity note to complete the carrot falvour. The muffins were easy to made, I followed the directions and the outcome was great. The muffins were fluffy (even more than I expected). They were soft with all the different flavours and slightly moist. This is a great treat and a healthy one, too. I will have now always some in the freezer. Thanks for sharing this delicious muffin recipe.
