🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 cup wheat bran
• 1 cup graham flour
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup dark brown sugar

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, graham flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough muffins.

5. If using raisins or chopped nuts, fold them in gently at this stage.

6. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
