Can you believe that I made these moist and healthy apple bran muffins using store-bought muffin mix? I usually prefer baking from scratch but sometimes due to lack of time and convenience, I depend on store-bought cake mixes from time to time.

Let’s face it, the usual name brand cake mixes are far from healthy which I have accepted to live with because I do not use it very often.

The other day while I was grocery shopping I was wandering in the baking aisle for no reason as always and laid my eyes upon this apple bran muffin mix.

I have never baked using store-bought muffin mix up until then. I immediately scanned the ingredients and what? Did I see it right? How can a store-bought mix be this healthy without any added preservatives or artificial ingredients?

Don’t believe me?

Here’s the list of ingredients in the muffin mix:

It’s made with 100% whole grain whole wheat flour, of course, has sugar and no sugar alcohols, wheat bran, oats and oat fiber, apple powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

So I took 2 packets of the same without hesitating. Checked few other muffin mixes from the same brand but the others were not as clean and healthy as this apple bran muffin mix.

Usually, for bran muffins, flax egg is a good egg substitute.

The instructions called for 2 eggs which I have replaced with one flax egg and apple cider vinegar to give the muffins an airy texture.

I also used the trick which I had implemented in this vegan banana pecan muffin recipe to mimic bakery style muffins, to give it a good rise and nice golden color and it worked like a charm again.

My intuition served me right again and these vegan healthy apple bran muffins turned out great and didn’t taste “healthy” at all. The kids loved it! Baking healthy doesn’t have to be hard, scouring for healthy ingredients in a health food store spending a fortune. Get this whole grain apple bran mix and you can bake healthy, low-fat apple bran muffins in no time.
