Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a mixing bowl, pour the boiling water over the wheat bran and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the egg, brown sugar, molasses, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir the softened bran into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
