Raisin Bran Muffins
Description
These Raisin Bran Muffins are prepared by mixing flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and raisin bran cereal, which provides both raisins and bran flakes. The wet ingredients—vegetable oil, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla—are combined separately and then added to the dry mix. The batter rests at room temperature for at least 45 minutes, allowing the cereal to soften and absorb moisture, ensuring a tender muffin.
Baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, the muffins develop a slightly crisp sugar sprinkle on top, with a moist interior that showcases the natural sweetness and texture of the bran and raisins. These muffins can be stored for a few days and reheated or eaten cold.
The recipe yields 12 muffins, making them convenient for a week of breakfast or as portable snacks. The use of buttermilk contributes to a delicate crumb and enhances flavor depth.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2½ cups raisin bran cereal
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1¼ cups buttermilk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with liners, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and sugars. Stir in the cereal; set aside.
- 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
- 4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, and stir until completely combined. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for at least 45 minutes (this allows the cereal to soften in the batter). If you don't want to use immediately, you can refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days.
- 5. When ready to bake, divide the batter between the 12 muffin tins. Sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar.
- 6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, and then in refrigerator for up to another week.
