Salwaa’s Bran Muffins (Inspired Recipe)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups wheat bran
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups.
2. In a large bowl, combine the wheat bran and buttermilk. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bran to soften.
3. Add the vegetable oil (or melted butter) and egg to the bran mixture. Stir well to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the bran mixture. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!
6. If desired, fold in the raisins and nuts.
7. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional Variations:

• You can replace raisins with dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots.
• For extra flavor, try adding vanilla extract or a dash of nutmeg.
• If you prefer a lighter muffin, you can substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour.

Enjoy these hearty and delicious bran muffins as a breakfast or snack option!
