White Chocolate Raspberry Bran Muffins
These White Chocolate Raspberry Bran Muffins are a high fiber, lower sugar twist on classic bran muffins and make an easy breakfast or snack to prep ahead.
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ¾ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all bran original cereal
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat baking flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 cups frozen raspberries (not thawed)
- ⅓ cup white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ and prepare a 12-cavitiy muffin tray (I recommend using a silicone muffin tray if available).
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, olive oil and vanilla extract. Add All Bran cereal, mix well and set aside for 5 minutes. This will allow the cereal to soften and absorb the liquid ingredients.*see notes*
- In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Once the cereal is softened. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. Mix to combine.
- Using a spatula, fold in the raspberries and white chocolate. Be careful not to over mix (mix until JUST combined).
- Use a large cookie scoop (or ¼ cup) to divide the batter amongst the 12 cavities in the muffin tray (top with additional chocolate and raspberries if desired).
- Bake at 400℉ for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Allow to cool.
Notes
I recommend allowing the cereal to sit with the wet ingredients until softened, however don't leave it TOO long (maximum 5 minutes). The longer the cereal sits with the liquid ingredients the more it will thicken which may impact the end product.
*vanilla greek yogurt will create a sweetener muffin!
