Description

Make moist, high-fiber muffins sweetened naturally with honey. This recipe uses buttermilk for tenderness and is great for meal prepping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup wheat bran
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, wheat bran, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the honey, egg, buttermilk, and oil until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix. Fold in raisins if you are using them.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, 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.
  • You can substitute molasses for honey, but reduce the amount slightly as molasses is stronger in flavor.
