Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large bowl, combine the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Stir in the raisins and diced apple, making sure they are well coated in the dry mixture to prevent them from sinking during baking.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined; do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 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 warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious cinnamon raisin and apple bran muffins!
