Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Oat bran
- 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Golden raisins
- 1.25 cups Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Add the golden raisins to the dry mixture and toss to coat them evenly. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and 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! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
