1 cup raisins
1 cup boiling water
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups buttermilk

Categories     Berry     Breakfast     Bake     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Low Sodium     Muffin     Healthy

Yield 22-24 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 eggs
1 c honey
1+1/4 c apple sauce (can sub grated zuccini or 1 c oil but oil changes fat content)
3 c liquid (orange juice, soy, etc.)
3 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 c whole wheat flour
1+1/2 c raw wheat germ (can sub quick oats)
1+1/2 c raw bran
approx. 1 c frozen berries

Steps:

  • Beat eggs. Add honey, apple sauce and liquid and mix together. Put in baking soda, vanilla, baking powder and salt and stir thoroughly. Mix in flour, then germ and bran. Let the mixture sit for 1 hr. Add the frozen fruit and measure into pregreased muffin tins (or lined). Bake at 350F for 25 minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Bran Muffins:

  • Use a combination of whole wheat flour and bran. This ensures that your muffins have a hearty and nutty flavor. The bran should be fine or medium-grind, as coarse bran can make your muffins too dry.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no lumps of flour.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before baking. This allows the bran to absorb some of the moisture from the batter and prevents the muffins from becoming too dry.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This helps the muffins to rise quickly and prevents them from becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the muffins to set and makes them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Bran muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are high in fiber and whole grains, and they can help you feel full and satisfied. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a bran muffin recipe that you love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast, reach for a bran muffin!
