Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup Plain yogurt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried fruit (optional)
• 0.25 cup Nuts or seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and yogurt. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften the bran.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the bran mixture, whisking until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the raisins or dried fruit and nuts or seeds for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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