Bake a batch of these incredibly moist bran muffins. Packed with high fiber and naturally sweetened with honey, these are the ultimate grab-and-go solution for busy mornings. They are simple to make and freezer-friendly, ensuring you always have a wholesome, hearty breakfast ready.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup wheat bran
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 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 honey, applesauce, egg, and buttermilk until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula 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 of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For freezer-friendly storage, cool completely, then place cooled muffins in a freezer-safe bag or container.

Notes

  • For an extra moist texture, you can substitute half of the buttermilk with plain yogurt.
  • These muffins freeze well for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter or microwave briefly for a quick breakfast.
  • If you prefer a slightly sweeter muffin, increase the honey by one tablespoon.
