Ingredients:

  • 1½ cups wheat bran
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed meal
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup raisins

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir the wheat bran and ground flaxseed meal into the wet mixture.
  4. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to soften the fibers.
  5. Whisk the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  6. Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula until the streaks of flour just disappear.
  7. Stir in the raisins until combined.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among 12 lined muffin cups in a standard muffin tin.
  9. Bake for 18–20 minutes until the tops are a deep mahogany-brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
