Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins or chopped dates (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 each cup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and buttermilk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the bran.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 4
To the softened bran mixture, add the brown sugar, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir just until no dry streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If you are adding raisins or chopped dates, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your classic bran muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
