How to Make Apple Bran Muffins
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) bran cereal, 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup (140g) peeled and diced apples and 1/2 cup (60g) raisins.
- Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 17-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 17 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
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!
