Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups wheat bran
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins or chopped dates (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and almond milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften the bran.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins (or chopped dates) gently.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins on their own or with a dollop of sugar-free jam or your favorite spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
