Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 0.5 cup wheat bran
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts (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 tin.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and yogurt. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.

Step 3

While the oats are soaking, in a separate bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Stir the egg, applesauce, honey, milk, and vanilla extract into the oatmeal-yogurt mixture until well blended.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins or dried cranberries, and if desired, add chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.

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 tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
