Ingredients

1 ½ cups Oat Bran regular or gluten-free
1 cup Buttermilk
1 Egg lightly beaten
1/3 cup Applesauce
2/3 cups Light Brown Sugar
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup All Purpose Flour regular or measure-for-measure gluten-free flour blend
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
Zest from ½ an Orange
1/2 cup Raisins

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. DO NOT USE MUFFIN LINERS.
Combine the bran and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. Stir to fully combine. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Just until combined.
Add the mixture to the bran-buttermilk. Stir just until combined. NOTE: the bran mixture may be thick. Just stir by hand until all ingredients have blended together.
In a separate mixing bowl sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and orange zest. Add to the bowl with the other ingredients and stir to combine.
Stir in the raisins.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan evenly (to just below the rim). Tap the pan gently if needed for the batter to fill in the cavities.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool a few minutes in the pan until comfortable to lift out and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

NOTE:
The texture of the muffins will stick to muffin liners. It’s recommended to bake them without liners.
