Bran Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup wheat bran
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk (or buttermilk)
• 1/2 cup melted butter (or oil)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (replace some sugar)

Method

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin.
2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Whisk eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until combined.
4. Fold in mix-ins.
5. Divide into 12 cups; bake 18–22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes.
6. Use wheat bran for a hearty texture; let batter sit 10 minutes before baking.

Notes

Don't overmix—stop stirring as soon as the flour disappears.
