Ingredients

• 2 cups Boiling water
• 2 cups Bran cereal
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line muffin tins with paper liners or grease thoroughly.

Step 2

Pour the boiling water over the bran cereal in a large mixing bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the softened bran mixture until well combined.

Step 5

Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and lightly beaten eggs to the bran mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

If using, fold in the raisins and chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.

Step 8

Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
