Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Oat bran
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and milk.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) to evenly distribute them in the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
