Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (granulated)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine wheat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, milk, and sweetener until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix or the muffins may become dense.

Step 5

If using nuts or raisins, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter among 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

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy as a snack, breakfast option, or dessert! They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. Muffins can also be frozen for longer storage.
