Ingredients

  • 1 cup bran buds
  • 1 cup boiling water to soak the bran buds
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal mixed with 6 tablespoons water
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 ½ cups dairy-free milk of your choice - I am into oat milk these days
  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dates, diced small

Instructions

  • Lightly grease 12 muffins cups and set aside - if you don't have paper muffin cups. If you do place the paper muffin cups inside the muffin tin.
  • Soak the bran buds in boiling water. Let stand to cool.
  • Mix the flaxseed meal with the water and set aside to gel for a couple of minutes.
  • In a large bowl add the dairy-free milk, oil, sugar and mix well.
  • Add the prepared flaxseed meal egg substitutes and mix.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix.
  • Add the bran mixture and mix to just combine.
  • Fold in the diced dates.
  • Spoon into the prepared muffin cups. The cups will be full.
  • Bake at 355 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Watch closely at the 20 minute mark.
  • Transfer muffins to a rack and let cool.

Notes

IF FREEZING:
After they have cooled you may freeze them for up to 6 months. They defrost quickly so it really doesn't take any planning. The microwave will also zap them in 20 seconds.
