Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat bran
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup honey
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, wheat bran, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the honey, egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results and maximum moistness, do not overmix the batter after combining wet and dry ingredients.
These muffins freeze well. Cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw on the counter or briefly microwave before serving.
You can substitute oat bran for wheat bran if you prefer.
