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.

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.

Delicious Raisin Bran Muffins are easy to make breakfast muffins made with the classic raisin bran cereal we all know and love! The tasty cinnamon muffin surrounds bran flakes and tender bites of raisin and is absolutely perfect with a touch of honey or pat of butter!

Provided by Angela

Categories     Breakfast Recipes     Muffin Recipes

Time 31m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups Raisin Bran
1 cup milk
1 large egg ((beaten, at room temperature) )
1/4 cup unsalted butter ((melted and cooled - or use cooking oil))
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a muffin tin with paper muffin liners or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the cooled, melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix the ingredients just enough to incorporate the dry flour into the wet ingredients.
  • Add the raisin bran cereal, stir to combine. Allow the muffin batter to sit for up to 45 minutes if you want the bran flakes to take on the moisture from the batter. *These muffins are the only time I will ever argue that soggy cereal is best!
  • Portion the muffin batter out into your prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin liner between 3/4 and full. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 16-18 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove the baked muffins and allow to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes. Serve warm for best results.
