Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Non-dairy chocolate chips (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 with a non-dairy cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the wheat bran and boiling water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften the bran.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, eggs, apple cider vinegar, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the softened bran mixture. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until the batter is combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
If using non-dairy chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared 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
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
