Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Wheat bran
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 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 it lightly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the wheat bran and boiling water. Stir well and let it sit to allow the bran to absorb the water and cool down slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, blend together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add this mixture to the soaked bran and stir until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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

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