Ingredients

1/3 cup unprocessed wheat bran (Miller's bran)
2 teaspoons flax seed meal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch fine sea salt
1 chickpea egg (see below) or regular egg (if not vegan)
2 packets stevia or monkfruit (or sweetener of choice; see notes for options)
2.5 tablespoons nondairy milk (e.g., oat milk, soy milk, almond milk; or dairy milk, if not following a vegan diet)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon raisins (see notes for options)

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk the bran, flax seed meal, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another small bowl, whisk the egg, sweetener, milk, and vanilla until blended.
Add the egg mixture and raisins to the bran mixture, stirring until blended.
Use a nonstick, microwave safe 12 to 14--ounce mug, bowl or ramekin (If not nonstick, lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray). Spoon in batter, smoothing the top.

Notes

Chickpea egg: Mix 5 teaspoons chickpea flour with 3 tablespoons lukewarm water until smooth.

Make-Ahead: The muffin can be made up to 12 hours before eating. Cool completely (in or out of the mug) and store in an airtight container.

Sweetener Options: If you do not need the muffin to be added sugar-free, you can replace the stevia or monkfruit with 1 to 2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener (e.g., coconut sugar, maple syrup, or agave nectar).

Raisin Alternatives: Feel free to omit the raisins, or replace with an equal amount of

any other chopped dried fruit (e.g., dried apricots, dried cranberries, dried figs, dates, or dried apples)
chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts)
chopped seeds (e.g., sunflower seed kernels, pepitas (green pumpkin seeds), hemp hearts)
