Blueberry Bran Muffins
Description
These muffins feature wheat bran for added texture and nutrition, mixed with flour, leavening agents, and spices to create a tender baked good. The addition of molasses and brown sugar brings rich sweetness, while orange juice contributes a subtle acidity and moisture. Fresh or frozen blueberries coated with a bit of flour are folded in last to keep them dispersed throughout the batter.
Baked at 400°F, the muffins develop a lightly browned exterior with tender interiors that highlight the bran and blueberries. They work well as a breakfast item or a snack with moderate sweetness and fruity bursts.
