Time 41m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups wheat bran
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
¾ cup whole milk
⅔ cup grapeseed oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon molasses
1 orange, zested
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups fresh cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
  • Combine bran and brown sugar in a large bowl.
  • Pour milk into a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Heat until almost boiling, about 1 minute. Pour over the bran mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until combined. Let stand until milk is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat oil, eggs, molasses, and orange zest into the bran mixture.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix into the batter until just combined. Sprinkle cranberries on top; fold in with a spatula. Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or dried cranberries. If you're using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups to the top. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help the muffins brown on top.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving. This will help the muffins set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Cran-bran muffins are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite add-ins. Whether you like them plain or with a streusel topping, these muffins are sure to please everyone.
