Ingredients

• 2 cups oat bran
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup milk
• 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g. walnuts or almonds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°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 oat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, milk, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and honey until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold the mixture together just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts, fold them in gently at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
