These really are the BEST moist and healthy Bran Muffin that are naturally high in fiber, freezer-friendly, and perfect for meal prep or lunchboxes.
Bran Muffins that actually taste amazing.
I'm convinced this is the BEST Bran Muffins recipe; my mom spent years perfecting it and it's a staple in our family. I love how incredibly moist and flavorful they are, and we enjoy them all day long; for quick breakfasts, easy snacks, or even served alongside BBQ ribs or a warm bowl of soup for dinner. They freeze beautifully too, making them perfect for busy mornings or to pack in lunchboxes.
How to make Bran Muffins:
Make Batter: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin. Soak raisins in hot water for 10 minutes (to hydrate/plump them) then drain. Mix bran and buttermilk; let stand 5 minutes. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg, egg white, oil, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in bran mixture, grated carrots, nuts, and raisins. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, then add to wet mixture; stir just until combined (don't over-mix!). Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, filling them full.
Bake: Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool briefly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Use half whole wheat flour, half regular. (I don't suggest all wheat flour as the muffins will be dense).
