Bran Mini Muffins

Bran mini muffins are both delicious and good for you. They can be prepared in advance, and will make an awesome addition to any brunch!

Bran Mini Muffins

Ingredients

I used the following ingredients for the Bran Mini Muffins: Wheat bran, buttermilk, vegetable oil, one egg, brown sugar vanilla extract, all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and Craisins.

Ingredients

Making the Bran Mini Muffins

Since I didn’t have any buttermilk, I started by making my own. I mixed 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice with enough milk to make a total of 1 cup of liquid. Then, I mixed together milk/lemon juice and the wheat bran, and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.

Adding milk

Meanwhile, I beat together the vegetable oil, egg, brown sugar and vanilla.

Then, I stirred the wheat bran mixture. Next, I added the flour, and stirred it just until things were blended.

Finally, I folded in the Craisins.

I portioned the batter into a prepared mini muffin tin with a 1-1/2 inch ice cream scoop.

I baked the mini muffins in a preheated 375° F oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the mini muffins were perfectly done. After I removed the mini muffins from the oven, I cooled them on a wire rack.

I ended up with 24 incredibly delicious and healthy bran mini muffins.  Yum!
