Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Oat bran
• 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Low-fat milk
• 1 medium Granny Smith apple (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Granular sugar substitute (suitable for baking)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, sugar substitute, and vegetable oil until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to dense muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the finely chopped apple pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared 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 pan from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy as a healthy snack or breakfast option!
