1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup wheat bran
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder

  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
