Name: Mocha Chip Muffins
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 1 c. wheat bran; 1 c. whole-wheat flour; 1/2 c. granulated sugar; 1 tsp. baking powder; 1/2 tsp. baking soda; 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon; 1 pinch kosher salt; 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce; 1/2 c. lowfat buttermilk; 1/4 c. olive oil; 1 large egg; 2 tsp. instant espresso powder; 1/4 c. mini chocolate chips

Step 1Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12-hole muffin pan with 10 paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine the wheat bran, flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, buttermilk, oil, and egg; stir in the espresso powder. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 3Divide the batter among the lined muffin cups and bake until a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. (For mini muffins, bake for 14 to 16 minutes.)
