Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup wheat bran
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 cup of wheat bran. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the bran.
  3. To the softened bran mixture, add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Add the salt.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon only until the flour streaks disappear. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Gently fold in the raisins, if you are using them.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best moisture, let the bran soak for the full 10 minutes before mixing in the wet ingredients.
  • These **easy bran muffins** freeze well. Cool them completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to three months.
  • To make these **bakery style bran muffins**, use a mix of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour for a heartier texture.
