Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup oat bran
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped candied ginger
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sliced almonds divided

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix together the dry ingredients (oat bran through cinnamon) in a bowl.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the applesauce, butter, sugar, and maple syrup, then beat in the egg and milk.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently stir to combine.
  5. Gently fold the chopped candied ginger and 1/4 cup of the sliced almonds into the mixture.
  6. Line or grease a muffin pan. Use an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup to portion out the mixture into 12 muffins.
  7. Top the muffins with the remaining sliced almonds.
  8. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

If you do not have oat bran, simply substitute ground rolled oats.
