Plum Oat Bran Muffins

September 17, 2016

Plum Oat Bran Muffins

These Plum Oat Bran Muffins are moist and not too sweet, perfect for a morning run-out-the-door breakfast or an afternoon snack. I used plums, but you can use any soft fruit you want (nectarines, peaches…)!

Plum Oat Bran Muffins

Our freezer is always stocked with muffins for busy days. I’m a fan of using local produce and what’s in season where possible and that’s where these Plum Oat Bran Muffins Came from! Muffins are one of those things that are easy to make a big batch of while you already have all your ingredients out. If you’re in the muffin making mood try my Sneaky Mommy Muffins, Double Apple Muffins, Veggie Muffins, or Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Muffins!

Freeze any extras for a quick snack or breakfast for hectic mornings, or bake them in mini muffin tins for a perfect snack for the little ones (just adjust the baking time to approximately 12-15 minutes).

Author Fraîche Nutrition

Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced plums (I used Italian prune plums)
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/3 cups oat bran
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (from one lemon)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vanilla yogurt
  • ½ cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a muffin tin or line it with baking papers.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the plums with 1 tablespoon of the honey, toss, and let it sit until ready to add to the muffin batter.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest. Whisk together.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, yogurt, melted butter, honey and vanilla. Whisk together.
  5. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until just mixed. Fold in the fruit.
  6. Evenly fill the muffin tins with the batter and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the muffins from the tin onto a baking rack to cool.

    Thank you so much for reposting this recipe! Made these this morning and they are easily the most delicious muffins I’ve ever made. I used Italian prune plums as well, and subbed out butter for avocado oil. I also added some cinnamon. They turned out absolutely delicious! My only note is that holy heck woman, how big are your muffin tins? Because I made 23 normal-sized muffins from this recipe. Your tins must be HUGE!!!

      Thanks for the feedback! I will have to re-make mine… I tend to make slightly bigger muffins I suppose! Have a great day!

    Hi Tori, thanks for the recipe! Could you sub oats for oat bran? I’ll try it this am and let you know. I made your roasted plum cardamom granola last week and it was delicious 🙂

      Hi Julie,
      Thanks for the note and for making the granola, so happy you liked it! I don’t know how it would work with the oats: I would probably try quick cooking oats if you do! Please let me know if you try! You can also pulse oats in a food processor or blender and I think it would give a decent result but I’m just speculating! Take care, Tori

    Thank you Tori for sharing this recipe. The muffins were delicious. I added cornstarch in error. Found my mistake before baking and added the baking powder I missed. The muffins still worked…go figure 🙂

    Hey Tori, any substitution for the vanilla yogurt?? Do you think dairy free coconut yogurt could work??

      Hi Danielle sorry for the delay! The dairy free yogurt should work but I’m not sure as I haven’t tried. Would love to hear if you do!

    Made this recipe again today, using apples and raisins instead of plums, and adding cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves for spice. They turned out amazing, as always. This is by far the best muffin recipe I’ve ever made!

    Hey Tori, this looks great! Do you think the batter will hold up with frozen blueberries instead of plums? Have local ones in the freezer from the summer…

      Hi Jessica,

      I haven’t tried it with frozen blueberries but I think it should work! I’d love to hear how it turns out if you give it a go!

Priorities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking about them a lot these last few days. I’ve been reading the book ‘Untamed’ by @glennondoyle (have you read it? love to hear your thoughts), and it’s made me really think.  It made me think about my childhood, my relationships (including the one with myself) and what I want to put out to the world in the short time I have here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last post was sharing our story of my dad’s journey with  Alzheimer’s. We are so lucky to have him at such an early stage of the disease, fully himself.  He is such a gift to us and the world. In sharing this story a floodgate of touching yet heart-wrenching stories poured in.  My heart expanded and broke at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jillian posted something about high functioning anxiety the other day, and I checked most (ok all) of those boxes ... ugh.  The irony is that I live a lot in the future, a little busy body, not really taking the time to enjoy the present - but one day, should I have the same disease as my dad (50% chance), I will truly only have the capacity to live in that moment.  It stopped me dead in my tracks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I wade into 2021 I am doing my best to realign my life to match my priorities - perfect balance isn’t what I’m after, that’s nonsense as far as I’m concerned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little deep for a Tuesday but that’s where my brain is at today!  Sending love ... as always. ❤️

Without a doubt the most difficult blog post I have ever written.  My sweet incredible funny kind loving dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a diagnosis that tore my heart in two. This is our story.  The post is on the blog FraicheLiving.com 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.  Sending you all love, especially those who have been impacted by this disease. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We remain hopeful, and are reminded on the daily to not take life for granted. ❤️

Travels with this crew... 🤍
My parents & Jillian’s (our moms are sisters) have always travelled together and have had THE MOST incredible adventures (our dads are ridiculously witty - literally the funniest humans). Looking back I can guarantee that those are some of their best memories.
I’m so grateful that we got to do the same last year - I can’t wait for another trip!  And might I say that I wish I was eating my lunch in this spot today!  Thank you again @nimmobayresort

I don’t do resolutions but love having a word to guide my year - I’m having a hard time picking just one this year. I think I got this idea from my friend @jenniferwilson.co ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While being focussed and more organized is always on my list, they don’t really seem to feel right.  With the boys growing so quickly and the reality of aging sinking in, especially with my dad having Alzheimer’s, I feel that time has never been more precious. I’m always finding myself trying to fit one more chore in or sneak in that extra email ... but really, why?  This will be the year of more snuggles for me, more campfires, glasses of wine with my loved ones over good food ... more memories. I worry that one day soon Charlie won’t want to snuggle me and it breaks my heart. 

I took a break from being on IG stories over the holidays and it was such a gift - I love being on the platform but there sure is a balance between being ‘on’ and being present. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I think this year my word will be FAMILY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What would your ONE word be this year??
