Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bran cereal
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Stir to coat the cereal evenly and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until the cereal softens.
While the bran soaks, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In the bowl with the softened cereal, whisk in the honey, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this could make your muffins dense.
Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each 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.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
