I don’t know about you, but I think I could pretty much live off of muffins. Couldn’t you?
I’ve been using this raisin bran muffin recipe for years and they have just the right amount of sweetness to them. Plus, these muffins freeze really well too, just in case you want to make a double batch.
Here’s the recipe. I hope you like it, we sure do.
Raisin Bran Muffins
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups wheat bran {check the bulk foods section in your grocery store}
1 cup buttermilk {How to make buttermilk}
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda {15 Cool Uses for Baking Soda}
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl combine the wheat bran and buttermilk and let the mixtures stand for 10 minutes. Mix together the oil, egg, sugar and vanilla and slowly add it to bran mixture. Next add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir until just blended. Fold in the raisins.
Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the batter into a lined {or greased} muffin tins and bake for 18 minutes.
Serve with a wee bit of butter or honey. These muffins freeze really well too!

Mavis! Thank you! It’s a dandy recipe. I made another double batch yesterday–loaves, like the first time.You must come by for coffee and a thick crumby slice.

Hi! Can I add blueberries instead of the raisins?
