Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups bran cereal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe banana
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside to curdle and create a vegan 'buttermilk'.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bran cereal, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
In another bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients and the vegan buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the raisins to the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these vegan raisin bran muffins as a healthy breakfast option or a delicious snack.
