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

Servings
  • 3/4 cup wheat bran
  • 3/4 cup oat bran
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg large
  • 2/3 cups brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup nuts chopped
  • 1/2 cup mixed dried fruit chopped if necessary, heaping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan, or fill with paper liners.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Fill muffin cups nice and full. You may only get 10 muffins if you fill them full.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out without batter clinging to it. Don't over bake.
  7. 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.
