Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (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 large mixing bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, milk, yogurt, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If desired, gently fold in the raisins and/or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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