Ingredients

• 2 cups Bran cereal
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 Eggs
• 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 grease the cups with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Stir to coat the cereal evenly and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until the cereal softens.

Step 3

While the bran soaks, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

In the bowl with the softened cereal, whisk in the honey, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this could make your muffins dense.

Step 6

Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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