Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

The Bran Base
  • 1.5 cups Wheat Bran
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt room temperature
  • 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
Dry & Flavor Ingredients
  • 1 cup Whole wheat pastry flour sifted
  • 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • 2 cups Carrots finely grated
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Mix wheat bran, yogurt, and applesauce in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes to hydrate the fiber.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  3. Whisk the egg and honey into the bran mixture until well combined.
  4. Fold in the flour, spices, and leavening agents gently—do not over-mix.
  5. Stir in the finely grated carrots until just incorporated.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

The 10-minute soak is the most critical step for ensuring a moist crumb. For a vegan version, use a flax egg and plant-based yogurt.
