Blueberry Apricot Oat Bran Muffins
These Blueberry Apricot Oat Bran Muffins are the best muffins I have ever made. I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and moist they turned out with the main ingredient being oat bran. I packed these with blueberries and dried apricots, but there are so many options for what to do with these beauties!
Servings: 9 muffins
Calories: 199kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups oat bran cereal
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt lowfat
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or grapeseed oil)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/3 cup dried apricots chopped, (or sub 3/4 cup fresh apricots, chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Add 9 liners to a muffin pan.
- Add oat bran, almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, and sea salt to a bowl, and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, mix together almond milk, yogurt, egg, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir well to combine, and then pour into dry ingredients.
- Stir just enough to wet dry ingredients, and then fold in blueberries and chopped apricots. If using frozen blueberries, add while still frozen.
- Fill muffin cups to the top. These muffins do not rise a lot. I overfilled mine and got 8 muffins, but you can get 9 if you just fill them to the top.
- If using frozen blueberries, bake for 16-18 minutes. If using fresh blueberries, bake for 14-16 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
