The last time I made bran muffins, it was like trying to chew cardboard.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody wants to each cardboard for breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>Enter this sweet, light, and tasty recipe. It&#8217;s packed with heart-healthy fiber and the egg whites have ZERO cholesterol. The fiber from the bran plus the applesauce also helps reduce cholesterol and boost heart-healthy HDL cholesterol, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Applesauce and Brown Sugar Sweeten the Mix<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve found that the combination of homemade applesauce and brown sugar sweeten the muffins just right. I use applesauce canned from <a href=\"https:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/2017\/09\/how-to-can-apples.html\">apples<\/a> we grow ourselves, which makes me think that the muffins taste better. Who knows? Whenever I cook with organic apples grown on our farm, I smile. It&#8217;s part of the whole country living experience that I love.<\/p>\n<h2>Baking Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure the oven is completely preheated before baking.<\/li>\n<li>Grease the muffin tins with shortening. I use a paper towel to spread the shortening inside the metal muffin tins because I hate getting my fingers greasy.<\/li>\n<li>Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.<\/li>\n<li>Mix the wet ingredients completely before pouring them into the dry ingredients.<\/li>\n<li>Separating eggs can be tricky. Use an egg separator (link below) or separate the eggs over a measuring cup in case you break a yolk into the white. What do to with the egg yolk? I cook it up for the dog as a treat. If I&#8217;m baking bread, I&#8217;ll save the yolk to use as an egg wash to make the crust brown and crispy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"title\" class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"><span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\">Egg Separator<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\"><span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\">Stainless Steel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cupidkiss-Stainless-Separator-Strainer-Dishwasher\/dp\/B07HB167K1\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=egg+separator&amp;qid=1582383151&amp;sr=8-4&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=equinartcreat-20&amp;linkId=120f3d7b5ca6809bd7ca5da891ddb325&amp;language=en_US\">Egg Yolk Separator,<\/a> Dishwasher Safe Egg White Separator, Professional Egg Separator Tool\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cupidkiss-Stainless-Separator-Strainer-Dishwasher\/dp\/B07HB167K1\/ref=as_li_ss_il?keywords=egg+separator&amp;qid=1582383151&amp;sr=8-4&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=equinartcreat-20&amp;linkId=7c2fb2c041ed8e51745aa4b62b2d5af6&amp;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B07HB167K1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=equinartcreat-20&amp;language=en_US\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important;
