Ingredients

• 2 cups Bran cereal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, milk, yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the muffins stay tender.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Absolutely Delicious Bran Muffins!
