A great bran muffin recipe to get back on a healthy track

Posted by LacCreta Holland on 12/26, 2014 at 10:31 AM

Ingredients

2 ½ cups bran
1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup molasses
1/4 cup honey
1 cup raisins

Steps

Stir together the dry ingredients and then stir in the wet. Add the raisins.

Spoon the batter into 18 greased (or lined) muffin tins. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

I changed up the recipe a bit.  I used 1/2 of the oil (eye-ball it:  fill the 1/3 cup only 1/2 full–sorry I don’t know the measurement–I’m a math looser and anyway, it’s a fraction!) and used canola instead of vegetable.  Then I added plain yogurt (about 1/3 cup) to moisten them up.

I added walnuts to the batter instead of the raisins for my wonderful hubby, who loves bran muffins. I also decreased the baking time to 10 minutes. Your oven my vary.
