Ingredients

- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 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 the cups.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the wheat bran and milk. Stir, and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5
Add the soaked bran mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Step 6
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Gently fold in the raisins and walnuts, if using.
Step 8
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
