2. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, oat bran flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl until blended.

3. Stir yogurt, oil, eggs, orange juice and vanilla in a small bowl. Stir yogurt mixture into flour just until moist.

4. Fold in blueberries and raspberries until just combined. Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.

TIP – I always over bake mine as I love the top to be extra crunchy (I had mine in for almost 40 minutes)
