Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Wheat bran
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, honey, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth and well 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, as this can lead to dense muffins.

Step 5

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

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 about 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 at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
