Dark Chocolate Bran Muffins

If you are gluten free, you can make these muffins with almond flour instead of bran. I love the insoluble fiber of the bran that keeps me regular!

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups wheat bran

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 cup cacao powder

• 1-2 T allulose or other granulated sweetener (cane sugar, xylitol, monk fruit, coconut sugar, sucanat)

• 1/8 cup cacao nibs

• 3 eggs

• 1/2 cup greek yoghurt or water

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce (optional)

• 1/2 cup filtered water

• 1 T ghee, melted

• 1 dropper of dark chocolate stevia (or 2 T allulose or monk fruit)

• 1 3oz dark chocolate bar, chopped

Here’s How:

1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease muffin tin or put in muffin liners in each slot.

2. Mix wet ingredients in 1 bowl (melt ghee and add to wet ingredients) and dry ingredients in the other.

3. Chop chocolate bar. Add 1/2 of it to muffin mix and blend.

4. Combine wet and dry and spoon into the muffin tin.

5. Sprinkle with remaining chopped chocolate and bake for approximately 15 minutes.

6. Cool on a muffin rack.

7. Enjoy!
