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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Then add the honey, applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.

Step 5

If using raisins or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into 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

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.
