Buttermilk, Apple Pecan Muffins
The buttermilk in these muffins gives them a little tang, and a lot of tenderness.

Ingredients

  • 300 ml or 1 1/4 cups All-Bran Buds* cereal
  • 60 ml or 1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 60 ml or 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 5 ml or 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 250 ml or 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 5 ml or 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 ml or 1/2 tsp salt
  • 50 ml or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 250 ml or 1 cup apple sauce
  • 5 ml or 1 tsp vanilla
  • 175 ml or 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 apple - chopped into small pieces

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine 60 ml (1/4 cup) of the brown sugar, pecans, 2 mL (1/2 tsp) of the cinnamon and 50 mL (1/4 cup) of the cereal. Set aside.

2. In medium bowl, stir together remaining cereal, flour, baking soda, remaining cinnamon and salt.

3. In large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, eggs, applesauce, vanilla and buttermilk until well combined. Stir in cereal mixture and apples just until combined and divide into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups. Sprinkle each with topping.
