Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and boiling water. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to soften the bran.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, molasses, buttermilk, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth.

Step 5

Add the softened wheat bran, along with the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using), to the wet mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
