RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS THAT WORK



Raisin Bran Muffins That Work image

I have always been disappointed when I've baked homemade bran muffins, but not anymore. These are moist and flavourful. I think the trick with the moistness is combining the bran with the wet ingredients, as no other bran muffin recipe I've tried had this step. I often cut this recipe in half and bake just 6 in my toaster oven. These freeze well, too.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs
1 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup molasses
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins (or blueberries, unthawed if frozen)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F; prepare muffin pans by lining cups with paper muffin liners.
  • In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, oil, molasses, sugar and vanilla.
  • Stir in bran; let stand for 5 minutes.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to egg mixture, stirring just until combined.
  • Carefully stir in raisins, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fresh blueberries, or unthawed frozen ones, can be substituted for raisins, by the way.
  • Spoon into paper-lined muffin cups, filling right to the top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until muffins are firm to the touch; do not overbake or muffins will be dry and tough.
  • As mentioned in the description, I like to cut this recipe in half (half of 3/4 cup brown sugar is 1/4 cup+ 2 tbsp) and bake the 6 in my toaster oven; after 20 minutes they are always done to perfection and I don't heat up my kitchen.
  • Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack.

GOLDEN RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS



Golden Raisin Bran Muffins image

This recipe came from Taste of Home. It calls for Golden Raisins but I used regular raisins. Yummy, healthy breakfast or snack. My 1 yr old even likes them!

Provided by LKsmommy

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup all-bran cereal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup golden raisin

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, milk and egg.
  • Stir in bran and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • In another bowl, combine the flours, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; stir in bran mixture just until blended.
  • Fold in raisins (batter will be thick).
  • Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.
  • Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To ensure your muffins are moist and fluffy, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda and baking powder to create a tender crumb.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • For a crispy muffin top, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
  • To prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan, grease or line the muffin tins with paper liners.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake the muffins in a greased 9x13 inch pan. Just adjust the baking time to 25-30 minutes.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These giant bran and raisin muffins are a delicious and hearty breakfast or snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add different fruits, nuts, or spices to the batter. For a healthier muffin, use whole wheat flour or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour. With so many possibilities, you're sure to find a muffin recipe that you'll love.
