My recipe for classic bran muffins. Well sort of. No raisins to be found here. I substitute blueberries in for the raisins. A much better choice in my opinion. But feel free to replace the blueberries with raisins. Or go half and half. That’s entirely up to you.

1 1/2 cups wheat bran

1 cup buttermilk

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup blueberries

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. Stir wheat bran into the buttermilk and let stand for 5 minutes.

2. Beat in the remaining wet ingredients into the wheat bran mixture.

3. Add the dry ingredients. Fold in the raisins.

4. Fold in blueberries

5. Spoon into muffins tins. I prefer muffin top pans.

6. Bake until the centre springs back when touched.
