Description

Make these wholesome, high fiber breakfast muffins sweetened naturally with honey. They are perfect for meal prep and a quick, satisfying snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 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)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, vegetable oil, and egg until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the raisins, if you are using them.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. 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 yogurt muffins freeze well. Wrap cooled muffins individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
  • If you want a slightly darker, richer flavor, swap the honey for molasses in equal measure.
