Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs , at room temperature
  • Grated zest of 1 medium orange
  • 1/3 cup french orange juice , at room temperature (from about 1 juicy orange)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil , melted
  • 3 Tablespoons plain low-fat Greek yogurt , at room temperature
  • 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup All-Bran cereal , ground in a food processor to a flour texture
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds , toasted (see notes below)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray with non-stick baking spray.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, beat the sugar and eggs together until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Beat in the orange zest and juice, coconut oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground all-bran, baking powder, and salt.
  • In batches, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just blended. Stir in the toasted almonds. Pour heaping 1/2 cupfuls of the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until golden on top and a tester inserted into the center of the muffins comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before removing.

Notes

To toast almonds, place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly toasted, 6 to 8 minutes.
