Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix milk, oil, eggs, brown sugar and vanilla, whisking to combine. Stir in the wheat bran and oats. Allow this to sit for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Stir in the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Fold in the orange peel.
- Line a 12 cup muffin tin. Distribute the batter between the 12 cups. Bake for about 15 minutes, test them for doneness with a toothpick. Leave the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove them and cool completely on a wire rack.
Tips:
- Use a variety of dried fruits. This will give your muffins a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include raisins, cranberries, cherries, and apricots.
- Chop the dried fruits into small pieces. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins.
- Soak the dried fruits in rum or brandy. This will plump them up and give them a richer flavor.
- Use a combination of spices. This will add warmth and depth of flavor to your muffins. Some good choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. This will help them rise evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
