Yogurt Bran Muffin Recipe

Get all the goodness of a healthy bran muffin recipe in a flavorful package that will make you forget it is healthy with these easy to make yogurt muffins.

Making bran muffins with yogurt gives them extra lightness, flavor and protein perfect for a fuel packed breakfast.

Small Batch

The recipe as written makes 6 muffins. That’s perfect for a family morning breakfast or a couple of days for a single person. It also makes whipping them up in a morning easy.

Double the recipe to feed a crowd or to save extras for freezing.

Yogurt Choices

The recipe was tested with a plain, regular style yogurt. Not greek or anything very thick. A thicker yogurt might work but results cannot be guaranteed.

If you want to use a sweetened or flavored yogurt you might want to skip the additional maple syrup or cut it back otherwise the muffins might be too sweet.

Use full-fat or no-fat yogurt as desired.

Sweetener

I chose maple syrup for these and that provides a wonderful dark, sweetness that matches well with the whole grain of the bran.

Substitute honey if maple syrup isn’t available.

Moist & Fluffy

The liquid to dry ingredient ratio is high leaving you with a light and fluffy muffin that will stay quite moist for several days at room temperature, if kept in a sealed container.

Freeze Extras

Because the muffins are so moist and fluffy, they’re excellent candidates for freezing. Double the recipe ingredient to make 12 muffins. Save a few to eat over the course of the next couple of days.

Once the muffins have completely cooled, put them into a plastic bag or other airtight container and put into the freezer. Eat frozen muffins up within 6 months for best flavor.

Simply let the frozen muffins thaw at room temperature before eating.
