Categories     Side Dish

Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 paper baking cups or cooking spray to grease pan
1 1/4 cups Fiber One™ cereal or 2 cups bran cereal flakes
1 1/3 cups milk
1/2 cup raisins, if desired
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Place a paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups, or spray just the bottoms of the cups with cooking spray.
  • Place cereal in a resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal the bag. Roll over cereal with a rolling pin or bottle, or press with bottom of small saucepan, to crush cereal into fine crumbs.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the crushed cereal, milk, raisins and vanilla until well mixed. Let stand about 5 minutes or until cereal has softened. Beat in the oil and egg with a fork.
  • In another medium bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon until well mixed. Stir flour mixture into cereal mixture just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Spoon the batter into the cups, dividing batter evenly.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If muffins were baked in paper baking cups, immediately remove from pan to a cooling rack. If muffins were baked in a sprayed pan, leave in pan about 5 minutes, then remove from pan to a cooling rack. Serve warm if desired.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripen bananas add a natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for added sugar.
  • Measure your flour correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour instead of scooping it with a cup.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Filling the muffin cups evenly ensures uniform baking and prevents some muffins from being overcooked while others are undercooked.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The ideal oven temperature for baking bran muffins is 375°F (190°C). This temperature allows the muffins to rise properly without overbrowning.
  • Cool the muffins completely before storing: Allow the muffins to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. This will help prevent the muffins from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Bran muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack option that can be easily made at home.
