Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl, combine flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl combine the buttermilk, bran flakes, wheat germ, brown sugar, oil and egg. Mix thoroughly with a wire whisk.
- Stir wet mixture into the flour mixture by hand until just moistened. Batter will still have lumps. (Do not over mix as this will cause muffins to be dense)
- Stir in the apples and walnuts.
- Spoon into a greased muffin pan until cups are nearly full.
- Bake for 15Â20 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
- Serve with purchased applebutter and/or jam.
