World’s Best Bran Muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 cup wheat bran
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and buttermilk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bran to soften.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the bran and buttermilk mixture. Stir well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- If desired, fold in the raisins.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
- Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
