Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Oat bran
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins or 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 cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Then add the honey, applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
If using raisins or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Spoon the batter evenly into 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.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
