Ingredients

• 1 cup Oat bran
• 1 cup Wheat bran
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

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 tin.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat bran and wheat bran. Pour the milk over the brans and stir until well mixed. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

To the bran mixture, add the egg, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir until combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy your wholesome and delicious Blueberry Double Bran Muffins!
