Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.25 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 large bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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 let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these wholesome muffins as a healthy breakfast or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
