Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups wheat bran
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raisins

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the wheat bran, flour, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, oil, molasses, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet into dry, stir just until combined, then fold in the raisins.
  5. Divide batter evenly among cups and bake 16 to 18 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Buttermilk gives the best texture, but you can make a quick substitute by stirring 1 tbsp lemon juice into 1 cup milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. These muffins are best the day they are made, but they stay soft for several days stored airtight.
