Recipe #3: Apple-and-Oat Bran Muffins

Apple-and-Oat Bran Muffins

This recipe seemed designed to be healthy, since it called for egg whites instead of whole eggs and used only 1/3 cup of sugar and not very much apple, even. It also featured whole wheat flour and oat bran to make it extra fiber-filled.

The muffins came out "woolly," as my husband termed it. By that I think he meant they reminded him of a sturdy wool sweater made out of nubby yarn. They were plain-tasting and not very sweet, but they were good in a hearty sort of way. They'd be good with soup, I should think. I don't think I'd make them again, however, as they were not sweet enough for me.

I rate these 4 out of 5 for being bland, but hearty.
