Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup bran cereal (wheat bran flakes or all-bran)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute with all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any type)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. In a medium bowl, soak the bran cereal in milk for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add honey, brown sugar, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract to the soaked bran mixture. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in optional extras like raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips, if desired.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother texture.’, ‘Store muffins in an airtight container to keep them moist.’, ‘Experiment with add-ins like chopped dates, shredded coconut, or sunflower seeds for variety.’]
