Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 pieces Eggs, large
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Plain yogurt or buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Raisins or chopped dried fruit (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In another medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt (or buttermilk) until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.

Step 5

If desired, gently fold in the raisins or chopped dried fruit as well as nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 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 allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy these muffins on the go for a wholesome snack or breakfast!
