Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Oat bran
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
• 0.25 cup Rolled oats

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the rolled oats for a decorative and crunchy topping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
