Raisin Bran makes an easy healthy breakfast, but it's not exactly portable. You can take your raisin bran “to go” in these muffins, although we like to eat them around the house too!
These muffins are low in fat since they use no butter or oil. The moisture comes from applesauce and the recipe calls for only one egg.
You can pack a muffin or two in your bag to eat breakfast on the run. If you're eating them at home I also love to heat them in the toaster oven to get them warm with a bit of crisp to the edges. Let's get on to the recipe!

I like that you use applesauce instead of oil. Looks yummy.
Madje says
Often, our Jar Of Applesauce goes bad before I had a chance to use it so this is a great idea. Plus we didn’t get the best box of Raisin Brans and I’m not going to toss it. This looks like a great recipe
