Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Wheat bran
- 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Applesauce (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
If using, fold in the raisins and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
