Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the All Bran cereal and milk. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to soften the cereal.
Add the vegetable oil and the egg to the softened cereal mixture. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade, wholesome All Bran muffins!
