Ingredients

• 2 cups Bran cereal
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 Large egg
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Raisins

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 medium bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to soften the cereal.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In the bowl with the softened bran cereal and milk, add the egg, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Gently fold in the raisins, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ 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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer 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.
