Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups wheat bran
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Whisk together the wheat bran, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, egg, vanilla, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries with a few light strokes.
  5. Scoop batter into the prepared tin, filling each cup nearly full. Bake 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

If the batter sits for 10 minutes before scooping, the bran absorbs liquid and the muffins stay extra tender. Frozen blueberries go straight into the batter without thawing.
