Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups bran cereal
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bran cereal, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add the raisins to the dry ingredients and stir to coat them evenly with the flour mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, egg, and oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these sugar-free raisin bran muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
