Recipe Information
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
- 2 large eggs
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
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 the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the raisins (if using) for a touch of natural sweetness and texture.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared 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.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, or enjoy them warm.
