Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Oat flour
• 0.75 cup Wheat bran
• 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup Old-fashioned oats
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Orange zest
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.33 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (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 it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, wheat bran, ground flaxseed, old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the orange juice, orange zest, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter among the 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 muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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