Ingredients
  • 1½ cups (195g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup (52g) @rogersgrains wheat bran
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 extra large egg, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup organic honey
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup grapeseed, avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup (60g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) nondairy milk (I used almond)
  • ⅔ cup diced pitted dates
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use muffin liners.
  2. Whisk the flour, wheat bran, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside.
  3. Whisk the egg, honey, maple syrup, oil, applesauce, vanilla, and milk together in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and whisk to combine. Now use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold in the dates.
  4. Spoon the batter evenly into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 14–15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. This batter makes 10-12 muffins. Enjoy!
  5. *Note: you can sub in raisins, dried fruit and nuts for the dates.
