Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.25 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 large bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these wholesome muffins as a healthy breakfast or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
