Time 40m

Yield 10 to 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
1 cup buttermilk (shaken)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup raisins
1 cup large-diced bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place paper liners into 1 (10 or 12-cup) muffin tin.
  • Combine the bran and buttermilk and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, 1 at a time. Scrape the bowl and then add the molasses, orange zest, and vanilla. (The mixture will look curdled.) Add the bran/buttermilk mixture and combine.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the batter just until combined. Don't overmix it! Fold in the raisins, bananas and walnuts with a rubber spatula.
  • With an ice cream scoop or large spoon, fill the muffin cups to the top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.

  • Use muffin liners: Muffin liners will help to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan and make cleanup easier.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are done baking.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
