Ingredients

1 cup wheat bran
½ cup oat bran
½ cup low-fat sour cream
½ cup skim milk
⅔ cup brown sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
⅓ cup olive oil
1 large egg
1 medium orange, juiced and zested
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
Combine wheat bran and oat bran in a large bowl. Stir in sour cream and milk; let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, both flours, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gently stir blueberries into the mixture until they are coated.
Stir olive oil, egg, orange juice and zest, and vanilla into the bran mixture. Add flour mixture and stir until just blended. Drop batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Remove muffins to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
