Apple-Raisin Bran Muffins
Beautiful! Golden copper brown, moist, bursting with flavors of Ginger, Cinnamon & Cloves, not too sweet, but not all healthy and Om, Om good! I am testing out the recipe for my Apple-Raisin Bran Muffins specifically requested by a sponsor for an upcoming healthier Brunch & Learn with ANALI Yoga. I am happy to say, it was a success my first time out! I mean, look at it! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom You will never buy a store-bought muffin again!
Though, I'll tell you a secret: It's the same recipe as my Banana CocoNut Bread; I just switched out the Bananas for Apples and Bran Flakes instead of Coconut Flakes. Worked beautifully!
Apple-Raisin Bran Muffins
I know, it all seems so intimidating, at least initially. In the day of being a hard-working mom, I only dreamed of being that mom, who bakes fresh breads, pies, cakes, biscuits and muffins from scratch. Never knew I had it in me. I'm 55 and on my own time, now, doing a little of the many things I enjoy - the art in my everyday - and it can get a little crazy - why I call it, MadlyLiving! Baking is just one of many simpler pleasures I get to share with family, friends and guests.
The wonderful thing about baking is that once you learn the basics - you know what you know and from there, you can go anywhere, try anything new. I am certain that one day, I will try a 3-tier wedding cake! WOW, me! Because now, I have developed a baking confidence and enjoy experimenting, switching out ingredients to work with what I have on hand. I call it Baking With Chops. You know the Food Network Show - Chops - where chefs must make something magical out of odd and unlikely food combinations.
I encourage you to experiment with baking from scratch. No store-bought can ever taste better than your own! Anyway, so here's the recipe for Mariby Corpening's Scratch-Made Apple-Raisin Bran Muffins.
