Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup wheat bran
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and yogurt. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
While the oats are soaking, in a separate bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir the egg, applesauce, honey, milk, and vanilla extract into the oatmeal-yogurt mixture until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins or dried cranberries, and if desired, add chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
