Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

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 cups.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the wheat bran and milk. Stir, and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Add the soaked bran mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the raisins and walnuts, if using.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
