Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups 180 g uncooked oat bran (certified gluten-free, as needed)
1/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
1 and 1/3 cups 325 mL water
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup 100 g rolled oats (certified gluten-free, as needed)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F (180 C). Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper or foil liners. Lightly spritz the insides of the liners with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the oat bran, coconut sugar, flaxseed meal, water, applesauce and vanilla. Let soak for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, process the oats into a fine flour. Add the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; pulse once or twice to combine.
Add the oat flour mixture to the oat bran mixture, stirring until completley blended. Divide the batter evenly into prepared cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and the center is firm to the touch. Cool 5 minutes in pan on a wire rack, then remove muffins to rack and cool completely.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 2 days, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or the freezer for up to 6 months.

Tip: Oat bran can be found where oats and hot cereal are shelved in the supermarket. It s often labeled "oat bran cereal" or "oat bran hot cereal,: Take a look at the label to confirm, but it should say "Ingredients: Oat Bran." and nothing more.
