Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Oat bran
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 optional Cooking spray or cupcake liners
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
