Ingredients

• 1 cup Wheat bran
• 1 cup Plain yogurt
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, yogurt, and milk. Stir well and let this mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to soften the bran.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly, then mix it into the bran mixture along with the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until all the wet ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can lead to dense muffins.

Step 6

Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to avoid breaking them apart.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

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 to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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