How to Make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup natural bran cereal with 1 cup milk. Let stand for 3-5 minutes to soften.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add the pumpkin mixture to the bran and milk mixture. Stir to combine.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
  7. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips (or desired substitute).
  8. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
