Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Oat bran
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated apple (peeled)
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the oat bran, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir just until the batter begins to come together.
Fold in the grated apple, raisins, and walnuts (if using) gently, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared 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 of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
