How to Make Oat Bran And Dried Fruit Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. In a food processor, combine: 1 cup oat bran, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional), and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pulse until well combined.
  4. Transfer the dry ingredients to a large bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 cup milk (any kind), 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in 1 cup of your favorite chopped dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots, etc.).
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
