Ingredients
Ingredients for muffins
  • 1 ¼ cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (80g) Kellogg's all-bran cereal
  • 1 cup (2.5dl) milk or soy milk
  • ⅓ cup (70g) dark brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (100g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 egg whites
  • ¼ cup (55g) vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Ingredients for topping
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter or margarine
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F and line a muffin pan with muffin cups.
  2. First begin by preparing the topping, by mixing in a food processor the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Pulse 2 or 3 times until the mixture looks like crumbs. Set aside to use later.
  3. Take a small mixing bowl and combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
  4. Take a large mixing bowl and combine the all-bran cereal, milk, brown sugar and applesauce. Set aside for 5 minutes until the cereal softens in the mixture. When soft, add the egg whites, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined. Add in the flour mixture and beat for 30 seconds, until just combined.
  5. With a spoon, evenly serve the batter into the muffin cups and sprinkle each with the topping.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of each muffin. If it comes out clean, they are ready!
  7. Let cool in the muffin pan and then remove each muffin. They can be eaten straight away or kept on the kitchen counter for 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen in a sealed tupperware for 3 months.
