Need help getting enough fibre? Try these fibrous and easy to make bran muffins! (No electric beater required!). Add it to your breakfast or grab it as a snack! The fibre will keep you full and help keep you regular! Wheat bran not only contains B vitamins, minerals and some protein, but also has soluble fibre – which forms a gel in your gut trapping some cholesterol and removing it 🤯! So why not try these yummy muffins that can improve gut health along with your heart health ❤!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups (87g) wheat bran
• 1 ⅓ cups (165g) all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup (68g) sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon, ground (optional)
• 1 ⅓ cup (330 ml) 2% milk
• ⅓ cup (75 ml) canola oil
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a medium sized bowl, combine wheat bran, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set it aside.
3. In large mixing bowl, combine milk, egg and oil with a whisk. Add dry ingredients and stir only until combined.
4. Scoop batter evenly into twelve muffin pan cups greased with cooking spray or lined with paper muffin liners. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until a fork/toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Serve warm.

⚠ Always remember to increase fibre intake slowly and to have more water when you have more fibre to avoid discomfort! Talk to a dietitian to find out if you are having enough.
