Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat bran
- 1 cup nonfat yogurt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup raisins or nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the nonfat yogurt, honey, and applesauce until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- If using, fold in the raisins or chopped nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Ensure you measure your ingredients accurately for the best texture. Use a kitchen scale if possible, especially for flour and oat bran.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins instead of light and fluffy ones.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins! Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits can elevate the flavor and texture.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins at 18 minutes. They’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Store Properly: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze them for longer storage.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy these muffins warm for the best flavor. A light spread of butter or a drizzle of honey can take them to the next level!
