Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.

Step 4

Combine oat bran, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
