Servings 12 muffins
Calories 179cal
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup oat bran (I found mine at Trader Joe's, you can also use wheat bran)
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup all natural creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3/4 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 12-cup muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray. You can use muffin liners if you'd like, but make sure to spray the inside of those, too.
- In a large bowl whisk together oat bran, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
- In separate large bowl beat together peanut butter, honey, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Whisk in applesauce and milk and mix well.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. (It's important to not over mix here as we are dealing with whole wheat flour!) Gently fold in raisins.
- Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full with batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for about 10 minutes. Remove muffins and finish cooling on wire rack. Makes 12 muffins.
Notes
I love spreading mine with extra peanut butter or a drizzle of honey!
Muffins are best when warm.
