Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups bran cereal
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon natural baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 cup natural brown sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup plant-based plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or raspberries (optional)
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 mashed banana (optional, can replace half applesauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the bran cereal, whole wheat flour, natural baking powder, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon (natural), and natural brown sugar until well blended.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, plant-based plain yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural).
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Optional Ingredients: Stir in any optional add-ins like chopped walnuts or berries for texture and flavor variety.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake for about 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Ensure your bran and flour are fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix: Gently fold batter to keep muffins light and fluffy instead of dense.
  • Natural sweetness balance: Adjust sugar by taste but remember bran has a naturally nutty flavor.
  • Room temperature ingredients: Helps the batter combine smoothly for even baking.
  • Cooling time matters: Let muffins cool before storing to prevent sogginess.
