How to Make Insanely Healthy Vegan Bran Flax Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bran cereal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. Add the mashed banana, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the wet flaxseed mixture. Mix well.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Stir in the chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
7. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
