Apple Carrot Muffins

• 1 3/4 cups bran cereal
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 3/4 cup peeled and finely chopped apple
• 3/4 cup grated carrot
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Mix bran cereal, flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Beat egg, buttermilk, and canola oil in a separate bowl. Pour liquid ingredients into bran mixture; gently stir in apple, carrot, and walnuts. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pans for 5 minutes before removing muffins to finish cooling on a wire rack.
