Delicious and Effective Crunchy Raisin-Bran Muffins image

I altered a recipe from an "off-brand" bran cereal box. They were so tasty - just the right amount of sweetness and crunch - and they "worked" by that night! Using buttermilk* really made them light!

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup bran flakes (crush in ziplock bag)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 cups bran flakes
1 cup buttermilk (lowfat or other)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used olive)
1 cup flour (wheat or white or combo)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup raisins (can use any dried fruit or fresh or frozen berries-drained)

Steps:

  • Makes 10- 12 muffins (2 1/2-inch) or 18 mini-muffins
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Prepare muffin tins (grease or paper-line).
  • Mix"Topping" ingredients- set aside.
  • In medium bowl, beat egg lightly.
  • Stir in cereal, buttermilk*, and oil Let rest 5 minutes- stir to break up cereal flakes
  • In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon Add wet cereal mix to dry ingredients all at once Stir just to combine- batter will be thick Fold in raisins (or other fruit).
  • Divide evenly in muffin tins (fill to brim for extra large tops).
  • Sprinkle"topping" evenly on each muffin.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes (if using mini-muffins- cook 10-15 minutes).
  • *1 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar and enough milk to equal 1 cup may be substituted- let stand 5 minutes to"curdle".

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time. But the texture was great and they were very moist. I'll definitely be making these again with less sugar.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I thought I'd try these muffins anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The raisins were not too sweet and they added a nice texture to the muffin. I'll definitely be making these again.

I made these muffins with blueberries instead of raisins and they were delicious! The blueberries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the muffin. I'll definitely be making these again with different fruits.

These muffins were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked them. But the flavor was good, so I'll try them again and see if I can get them right next time.

I made these muffins with chocolate chips instead of raisins and they were delicious! The chocolate chips added a nice richness to the muffin. I'll definitely be making these again with different mix-ins.
