3. Beat in 1 large egg, then stir in 1 cup (240ml) plain yogurt and 1/2 cup (120ml) milk.
4. Add 1 cup (120g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (60g) wheat bran, 2 cups (250g) peeled and diced apples, and 1/2 cup (60g) dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or a mix).
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
