Bran Muffin Recipe

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 c. raw bran
  • 1 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. applesauce or smashed banana
  • 1/4 c. molasses
  • 1/4 c. honey
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 1 egg
  • raisins

Instructions
 

  • Stir all the above ingredients with a large spoon until smooth. But do not put this in the muffin pan yet!
  • Spray a 12 muffin pan tin with Pam or another nonstick spray. Still, this is not time to put the batter in -- wait! First, you have to mix up the buttery brown sugar and put that in the pan.
  • Mix for the bottom of the muffin tin (becomes the topping):
  • 1/4 cup melted butter and brown sugar -- or adjust the amounts if needed -- you may want a spoonful for yourself if you are like me!
  • Mix the melted butter and brown sugar in a small glass bowl and put about a teaspoonful into each muffin cup (before you put the bran batter into the cups.) You may want to place a pecan half in the brown sugar butter -- if you like them.
  • Next -- pour the bran batter into the cups filling to the top (makes 12 muffins).
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 15 min.
