Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries
• 0.25 cup 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 lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins (or dried cranberries) and chopped nuts, if using.

Step 6

Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter using a spoon or ice cream scoop for even portions.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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