Equipment

Mixing Bowl
12 cup muffin pan

Ingredients

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 5 tablespoons water mixed with 5 tablespoons water
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 cup carrot grated
¼ cup neutral oil
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup wheat bran
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line or grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
Stir the ground flaxseed (linseed) and water together and set aside for 10 minutes to thicken into flax eggs.
In a large bowl whisk the flax eggs with the Greek yogurt, carrot, oil, milk, and maple syrup.
In a separate bowl combine the wheat bran, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to allow the bran, oats, flax, and chia to hydrate, adding a small splash of milk if the batter becomes too stiff.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups and bake for 22–26 minutes until set and lightly golden.
Cool briefly in the pan, then transfer to a rack and allow to cool completely before serving, as the muffins firm up as they cool.
