Ingredients for All Bran Muffins Master Mix

  • All Bran Cereal
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Brown Sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to Make All Bran Muffins Master Mix

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-bran cereal, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  6. Fold in your desired mix-ins (apple, pear, pineapple, chocolate chips, blueberries, nuts, cranberries, etc.).
  7. Fill greased muffin tins about ¾ full.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For mini muffins, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 11-12 minutes.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
