Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
Fold the fresh raspberries into the batter gently, making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking them apart too much.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops with rolled oats for added texture and visual appeal.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
