Start your day off right with some high fiber bran muffins. They taste great and have a mix of whole wheat flour, wheat bran, and raisins. Make a batch today.
Preheat oven to 425℉ and grease a 12-well muffin pan or line the wells with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, stir together the 1½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup wheat bran, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Mash the 1 banana in a large bowl.
Stir 1 large egg into the mashed banana. Then add the ½ cup maple syrup, ⅓ cup neutral cooking oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 cup milk.
Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until combined.
Fold in the ⅔ cup raisins.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan. The wells should be about ⅔-¾ full.
Bake at 425℉ for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven, reduce the heat to 350℉ and continue to bake for 14-15 more minutes.
Cool in the pan for about 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Keep the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. Freeze for longer storage.
For mini muffins, follow the batter instructions. Then bake for 12-13 minutes at 350℉.
