Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour or spelt flour or gluten-free flour
- 1 cup wheat bran I used Bob's Red Mill
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Wet ingredients:
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses or honey or maple syrup
- 3/4 cup milk of choice
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/3 cup applesauce unsweetened or yogurt
- 2 egg room temperature
- raisins or walnuts; optional add-ins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place 12 cupcake liners on a muffin tin pan and spray each with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients and then whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Into another bowl, add all the wet ingredients: sugar, molasses or honey, milk, oil, applesauce, and eggs. Whisk well to combine.
- Next, add the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients. Using a spatula or a whisker, whisk to combine. If you are adding any nuts or raisins, this is where you add them in and mix again.
- Divide the batter evenly into the muffin liners (makes 10-12 depending on the size of your pan).
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes, remove them from the pan, and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Serve and enjoy while they are warm with a bit of butter or cream cheese.
Notes
- To store leftovers: Store at room temperature for up to about 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. If you need to keep them for a longer period, store them in the fridge for up to about 5 days, or in the freezer. You can microwave refrigerated muffins for about 10-15 seconds to make them taste like they are fresh out of the oven.
- To freeze: Wrap each muffin in plastic wrap, then place them in a resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Label the bag with the date! Let the muffins thaw at room temperature or rewarm gently in the microwave to enjoy.
