Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats + 3 tbsp for topping (quick or old fashioned)
- 1 1/4 cup crushed bran cereal
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large Granny Smith apple peeled and coarsely grated
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line your muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mix the eggs, oil, milk, honey, yogurt, and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add 1 cup of the rolled oats and the crushed bran. Let soak for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the wet ingredients in and mix until blended {the batter will be quite thick}. Stir in the grated apple.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and fill up almost to the top {they rise very little}.
- Mix brown sugar and the remaining oats together and sprinkle on top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes {until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean}. Makes 16.
- Serve warm with butter or jam. We just refrigerate these and warm them up in the microwave for 10-20 seconds in the morning.
