How to Make Brown Sugar Bran Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, soak 1 cup raisin bran cereal in ½ cup milk for 10 minutes.
- Add 1 large egg, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the soaked cereal.
- Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup wheat germ, ¼ cup ground flaxseed, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Fill each muffin cup about ⅓ full.
- Sprinkle a small amount of brown sugar (about 1 teaspoon per muffin) over each muffin.
- Fill the muffin cups about ⅔ full with batter.
- Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar evenly over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy! These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months.
