Cranberry Bran Muffins
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups wheat bran
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup grapeseed oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 orange, zested
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, prepare your muffin tin by either lightly coating it with a non-stick spray or lining each cup with a sheet of paper for easy removal.
3
In a large mixing bowl, blend together the bran and brown sugar until well combined.
4
Meanwhile, heat up milk in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup for approximately 1 minute. The milk should be almost boiling at this point.
5
Pour the hot milk over the bran mixture in the bowl and mix until everything is well incorporated.
6
Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, allowing most of the milk to be absorbed.
7
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
8
Using an electric mixer, blend the oil, eggs, molasses, and orange zest into the bran mixture until smooth.
9
Mix in the dry ingredients just until they are fully incorporated.
10
Add a handful of cranberries on top and gently fold them into the batter using a spatula.
11
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
12
Finally, bake the muffins in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
