Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. 
  • Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line the tin with paper baking liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Stir to combine and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  • In a separate large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Use a whisk to combine.
  • Once cereal has softened, add the egg and oil to the milk and cereal mixture. Stir together well.
  • Add flour mixture to the milk and cereal mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Mixture will be thick. If you'd like to add any extras, do so at this time and gently fold them into the muffin batter.
  • Portion batter evenly into 12 muffin cups (about ⅔ of the way full).
  • Bake about 20 minutes or until lightly browned and no longer wet in the middle. The tops will spring back light when touched. 
  • Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 3 to 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers covered at room temperature or freeze in an air-tight container for up to 3 months. 

Notes

  • You can use any light oil that you like for this recipe such as canola, vegetable, avocado, or even melted butter or coconut oil.
  • I've had great luck making this recipe with egg replacer (mixed up according to the package instructions) or replacing the egg with a flax meal egg. 
  • You can replace the sugar in this recipe with 1/4 cup honey if you prefer.
  • If you'd like to add things like fresh or dried fruit and/or nuts or seeds and/or spices like cinnamon feel free! I generally add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon if I'm using it and 1/2 to 3/4 cups of additional "add-ins".
