Ingredients

• 1.5 cups wheat bran
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the wheat bran and buttermilk. Stir to moisten all the bran and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the softened bran mixture and stir to combine.

Step 6

Add the combined wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. If using raisins, fold them in now.

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 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins 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.
