Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bran cereal
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Golden raisins
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 medium bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the cereal to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the milk-soaked bran mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix gently until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in the golden raisins evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Golden Raisin Bran Muffins with a warm cup of coffee or tea, or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
