Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Oat bran
• 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.33 cups Sugar substitute (granular, suitable for baking)
• 1 tablespoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups Low-fat buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly coat with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat bran, whole wheat flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

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

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top of each muffin.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
