Low-fat high-fiber walnut bran muffins with dates and orange

Low-fat, high-fiber walnut bran muffins with dates and orange are a delicious option for those seeking healthy and flavorful choices. This recipe combines traditional and nutritious ingredients like wheat bran, dried fruits, and nuts, offering a perfect balance of texture and natural sweetness.

Wheat bran is known for its high dietary fiber content, which aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. Dates provide natural sweetness along with essential minerals, while the orange delivers a fresh citrus touch thanks to its zest and juice.

This type of muffin has variations in several Latin American countries, where it can be found under names like "little bran and dried fruit cakes" or "whole wheat walnut and fruit muffins." Its popularity is due to both its health benefits and its ease of preparation, making it an ideal breakfast or snack.

How to prepare low-fat, high-fiber walnut bran muffins with dates and orange

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

In a large bowl, combine the bran cereal, water, and oil, stirring until the bran softens.

In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, orange juice, molasses, honey, orange zest, and egg until combined.

In a small bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, and salt.
