Fruit and Nut Buttermilk Bran Muffins
Report
My fruit and nut bran muffins are a lighter, fluffier take on the classic fiber rich muffins from the 70s. Customize them with your favorite dried fruits and crunchy nuts of choice.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup wheat bran
- 3/4 cup oat bran
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1/2 cup (heaping) mixed dried fruit chopped if necessary
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 12-cup muffin pan, or fill with paper liners.
- Whisk together the brans, buttermilk, oil, egg, sugar, and extract in a mixing bowl, making sure that the egg gets beaten as you whisk. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Fold the fruit and nuts into the mixture, then hold a sieve or mesh strainer over the bowl and sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the batter. Mix well.
- Fill muffin cups nice and full. You may only get 10 muffins if you fill them full.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out without batter clinging to it. Don't over bake.
- Cool slightly then remove the muffins from the tin and cool on a rack. They can be frozen after they've cooled, if you want, just wrap them individually, and well.
