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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir just until the batter begins to come together.

Step 5

Fold in the grated apple, raisins, and walnuts (if using) gently, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
