- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup wheat bran
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, wheat bran, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the buttermilk, honey, oil, and egg until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix. If using, fold in the raisins.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a sweeter muffin, add 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the dry ingredients.
- You can substitute plain yogurt for the buttermilk if needed; add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the yogurt and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
