Scrumptious Bran Muffin

Ingredients

• Cooking spray (optional)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 (6 ounce) containers vanilla yogurt
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream, or more if needed
• 1 cup bran cereal (such as Fiber One), crushed
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup malitol brown sugar substitute (such as Sugar Twin)
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare 12 muffin tins with cooking spray.

Whisk the egg, oil, yogurt, and half-and-half together in a bowl until combined; stir the bran cereal and walnuts into the mixture. Mix the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar substitute, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a separate bowl; add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir just until moistened. It's okay to add a little more half-and-half if the batter is too stiff. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Remove immediately to rack to cool.
