Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, oat bran, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. In another bowl, beat the eggs for about a minute, then mix in the yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla until everything’s combined. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended — don’t overmix. Fold in the apples, zucchini, and carrot until they’re evenly spread throughout the batter. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Pop them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then give the pan a quick turn so the muffins bake evenly. Keep baking for another 10 minutes or so, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a bit before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
