Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Place muffin cups in a 12-muffin tin.
2. In a large bowl, mix wheat bran, flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix yogurt and baking soda. Set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk egg, brown sugar, oil and apple sauce. Blend into dry ingredients using a spatula and alternate with yogurt mix. Add blueberries and mix together gently. Set aside while preparing crunchy topping.
5. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, melted butter and oats.

7. Let cool and serve.

Chef’s Tip

For moister muffins, do not mix too strenuously. Replace peach yogurt with one of your favourite yogurt flavours!

Nutritionist’s Tip

These muffins are an excellent snack because they contain protein and carbohydrates to give your brain energy. Apple sauce reduces the sugar in the recipe and wheat bran adds fibre. Store-bought has nothing over these muffins!
