Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg, large
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
- 1 cup Apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the tin.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and buttermilk. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the bran.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.
Add the softened bran mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped apple and raisins (if using) gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy and delicious apple bran muffins!
