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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients (oat bran through cinnamon) in a bowl.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the applesauce, butter, sugar, and maple syrup, then beat in the egg and milk.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently stir to combine.
  • Gently fold the chopped candied ginger and 1/4 cup of the sliced almonds into the mixture.
  • 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.
  • Top the muffins with the remaining sliced almonds.
  • 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.
