Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups wheat bran or oat bran
- 1 cup buttermilk*** or plant-based buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or other vegetable oil such as canola
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole grain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
Notes
- * muffins will last 5-7 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
- ** if you're a diehard raisin fan, here's where you would add 1/2 cup. Dried cranberries would also be yummy with a teaspoon of orange zest added in as well. Or in the warmer months, Blueberries (fresh or frozen) would be a dream!
- *** I simply add 1 tsp of lemon juice and top with milk to make 1 cup (250 ml) of buttermilk. Let sit for 5 minutes for the lemon juice (acid) to activate. This can be done with swapping out unsweetened soy or almond milk for the dairy milk. I don't often buy buttermilk unless a recipe calls for it in large quantities.
