Healthy Bran Muffins Recipe

• portions: 9 mini muffins
• temps actif: 20 minutes
• temps total: 45 minutes

Ingrédients

Dry mix

150g whole wheat flour (1¼ cup, spooned & leveled)

60g (1 cup) wheat bran

¾ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

½ tsp ground cinnamon, or pumpkin spice

Wet ingredients

60g (¼ cup) unsweetened applesauce, room temperature, or 1 to 1½ medium bananas

1 large egg, at room temperature

100g (5 Tbsp) honey, pure maple syrup, sugar, or other sweetener

50g (½ cup) melted butter, avocado oil, vegetable oil, or coconut oil

¾ tsp pure vanilla extract

160mL milk, room temperature

Mix-ins

75g (½ cup) raisins/add-in, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 218°C/425°F.

Whisk the dry ingredients—flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon— together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside.

Whisk the wet—egg, honey, melted coconut oil, banana/applesauce, vanilla, and milk—together in a medium bowl until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and whisk to combine. Switch to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and fold in the raisins (or other add-ins). Spoon the batter evenly into liners, filling them all the way to the top.

Spray a 9-count mini muffin pan with nonstick spray or use muffin liners.

Bake mini-muffins for 5 minutes at 218°C/425°F, then bake for another 10 minutes at 177°C/350°F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Or can do 177°C/350°F the whole time.)

(If baking regular-sized muffins, bake for 5 minutes at 220°C/425°F, then bake an additional 14-15 minutes at 177°C/350°F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 20 minutes, give or take.)

Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Storage

Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, then transfer to the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Or freeze up to 3 months.
