Ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup bran flakes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup peeled, diced apples (about 1 large apple)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup streusel topping (for that extra crunch!)
Instructions to whip these up:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bran flakes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix them well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be sure not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps!
- Gently fold in the diced apples and nuts if you choose to use them. The apple pieces will add moisture and sweetness to your muffins.
- Using a cupcake scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter. Then, sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter to give your muffins that crispy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden and slightly dome-shaped.
- Once baked, let them cool for five minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. You can enjoy them warm or store them in an airtight container for later.
