Kittencal'S Fat-Free Bran Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups wheat bran
3/4 cup nonfat milk
6 tablespoons plain fat-free yogurt (or can use fat-free blueberry or vanilla flavored yogurt)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
3/4 cup brown sugar (if you prefer a sweeter muffin use 3/4 cup if not you may reduce slightly)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder (not scant, use a good teaspoon of baking powder)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional I like to add it in)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
Generously coat 10 regular-size muffin tins with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
In a small bowl mix the wheat bran with milk and yogurt; allow to stand for 12-15 minutes, stirring a few times.
In a large bowl whisk the applesauce with egg, brown sugar and vanilla; mix in the bran mixture until thoroughly combined.
In a small bowl combine the flour with baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon (then if using mix in the blueberries) add the bran mixture to the dry mixture; using a small spatula fold gently just until combined (fold gently).
Scoop into muffin tins filling almost full.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until muffins test done (these won't take long to bake so watch closely).
