Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and boiling water. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to soften the bran.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, molasses, buttermilk, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Add the softened wheat bran, along with the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using), to the wet mixture. Stir well to combine.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
