• ½ cup (120mL) nonfat milk
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (120g) whole wheat or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly coat 12 muffin cups with nonstick spray.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the oat bran, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla. Let the mixture rest for at least 10 minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a third bowl, whisk together the coconut oil and egg whites. Stir in the molasses and maple syrup. Add the oat bran mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Add the flour mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Fold in the carrots, apple, raisins, pecans, and coconut.
• Evenly divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups. Bake at 350°F for 20-23 minutes or until the tops feel firm to the touch. Cool in the muffin cups for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack.
