Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Wheat bran
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins or dried fruit (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, low-fat milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
If using raisins or dried fruit, fold them in at this stage.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
