**Vegan Blueberry Mini Bran Muffins**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup whole wheat flour
– 1 cup wheat bran
– 1/2 cup vegan sugar

– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond milk)
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, vegan sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
