Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Oat bran
• 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoons Orange zest
• 1 cups Diced apple
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well blended.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, unsweetened applesauce, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Add the orange juice and orange zest to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the diced apple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 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 allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
