Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, pour the boiling water over the wheat bran and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the egg, brown sugar, molasses, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Stir the softened bran into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the raisins gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
