Make these wholesome, high fiber bran muffins sweetened with honey. They stay incredibly moist thanks to buttermilk and are perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast on the go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup wheat bran or oat 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 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, bran, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix them gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the raisins or dried cranberries if you are using them.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For meal prep, store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

Notes

  • For an extra boost of flavor, you can substitute molasses for half of the honey amount.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice into 1 cup of regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • These yogurt muffins freeze well; wrap them individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag.
