Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups Molasses
• 0.5 cups Chopped 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 grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and boiling water. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften and cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, and molasses until well combined.

Step 5

Stir the wet ingredients into the softened wheat bran mixture until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, mixing just until the batter is combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick but uniform.

Step 7

If adding raisins or dates, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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.

Step 11

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