- 1 cup oat bran
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1 egg

Preheat oven to 350
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg, brown suger and fruit. Gradually stir in the applesauce, mix thoroughly.
Fill 12 muffin molds with 1/3 cup of the batter, then drop 1 tsp of jam on top of the batter, then drop another 1/3 cup of batter on top of the jam.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are light brown.
My experience
These muffins are sturdy, but yummy. There’s a ton of fibre, they’re substantial and they made great snacks. I also added some wheat bran I had stashed in the freezer for extra “cleaning” power. I didn’t miss the oil in these at all.
