Ingredients

• 1 cup Oat bran
• 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 0.3 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or nondairy)
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 optional Nonstick cooking spray or muffin liners

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by lining it with muffin liners or lightly greasing it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, honey, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
