Ingredients

• 2 cups bran cereal
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the bran cereal and buttermilk. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

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

Step 4

To the softened bran mixture, add the brown sugar, egg, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until moistened. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

If using, fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts for additional texture and flavor.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake 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 allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
