Ingredients
Scale
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup wheat bran
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, buttermilk, egg, and vegetable oil until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix them just until combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the raisins, if you are using them.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared 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 a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra moisture, you can substitute plain yogurt for half of the buttermilk.
These muffins freeze well. Cool them completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
If you prefer a different sweetener, you can substitute molasses for the honey in this easy muffin recipe.
