Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or raisins (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 it.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If desired, fold in chopped nuts or raisins to add texture and flavor.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 tin from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your High Fiber Low Calorie Bran Muffins as a healthy snack or quick breakfast option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
