Ingredients

• 1 cup Wheat bran
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and chopped walnuts, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the Blueberry Bran Breakfast Treats warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for longer storage.
