Ingredients

• 2 cups Bran cereal
• 1 cup Milk (non-dairy or dairy)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 piece Large egg
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried fruit (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Stir together and let sit for 5 minutes to soften the cereal.

Step 3

After 5 minutes, add the honey, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using raisins or dried fruit, fold them in at this stage.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
