Make these wholesome, high fiber bran muffins sweetened with honey for a perfect breakfast on the go. They stay moist and are great for batch cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup wheat bran
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional mix-in)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the honey, vegetable oil, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. If using, fold in the raisins.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, you can substitute plain yogurt for half of the buttermilk.
  • If you prefer a darker, richer flavor, substitute molasses for an equal amount of honey.
  • These **healthy bran muffins** freeze well. Place cooled muffins in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter.
  • This recipe makes excellent **kid friendly muffins** if you skip the raisins or use dried cranberries instead.
