HONEY BRAN MUFFINS - MIMI'S CAFE RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Honey Bran Muffins - Mimi's Cafe Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by Niecer

Number Of Ingredients 21

DRY INGREDIENTS:
1 cup flour
1 cup wheat bran
4 teaspons dry milk powder
1/4 teaspon baking powder
1 teaspon baking soda
1/4 teaspon salt
WET INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup brown sugar (it called for dark, but all I had was light)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons grated orange zest (the orange flavor is a little overpowering, I'd probably reduce this to 1 tablespoon or maybe even 2 teaspoons)
GLAZE:
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons butter (very soft or slightly melted - I put this whole mixture on top of the fridge while I did the rest and it worked really well)
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Distribute about 1 tablespoon of the Glaze into 12 muffin tins and be sure to coat the bottom and sides of each muffin tin. (I did this just before I mixed the wet and dry ingredients so that the glaze was fairly liquid, and I just spread it evenly between all 12 tins rather than measure) In a medium bowl (or one with a pour spout) mix all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl (I didn't do this I just put all the wet ingredients into the middle of the dry ingredients and mixed them all together), mix the "liquid" ingredients. Stir the liquids into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full, bake at 350 for 20min, until a toothpick comes out clean (be sure not to fill the muffins too full because even at 2/3rds they spring up over the tops a little. Immediately invert the baked muffins onto foil or wax paper to cool. I put mine on wax paper, and then enjoyed eating the caramelized rings on the muffin tin - if you make them, you'll know what I'm talking about.
