- 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup wheat bran
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 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, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, vegetable oil, and egg until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Fold in the raisins, if you are using them.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- 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 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra tenderness, substitute plain yogurt for half of the buttermilk.
- These yogurt muffins freeze well for up to three months. Cool completely, then place in an airtight, freezer-safe bag.
- If you prefer a darker sweetener, substitute molasses for half of the honey in this honey sweetened baking recipe.
