Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Wheat bran
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and chopped walnuts, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Blueberry Bran Breakfast Treats warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for longer storage.
