Ingredients

• 1 cup wheat bran
• 1 cup graham flour
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, graham flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough muffins.

Step 5

If using raisins or chopped nuts, fold them in gently at this stage.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
