Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the wheat bran and pour the boiling water over it. Stir to combine and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften the bran.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 6

Mix in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 7

Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the softened wheat bran mixture.

Step 8

Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in batches, being careful not to overmix.

Step 9

Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 10

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
