Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Bran cereal
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Carrots, finely grated
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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

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

Step 9

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
