Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Wheat bran
• 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or raisins (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 with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, wheat bran, ground flaxseed, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

If using walnuts or raisins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

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 muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
