How to Make 6 Week Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup bran cereal, ¾ cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup milk, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
