These bran muffins with applesauce are deliciously moist, and full of the good stuff — whole wheat flour, wheat bran, and flax. Perfect for breakfast.

Ingredients

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup natural wheat bran
3 tablespoons ground flax
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2 Mix together brown sugar, applesauce, canola oil, egg, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl.
3 Mix flour, bran, flax, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add bran mixture to applesauce mixture. Add milk and stir until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 11 to 13 minutes.
