How to Make Orange Date Nut Bran Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups bran cereal, ½ cup water, and ¼ cup vegetable oil. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to soften the bran.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup buttermilk, ¼ cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons molasses, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add the wet ingredients (buttermilk mixture) to the softened bran mixture and stir to combine.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture), 1 cup chopped dates, and ½ cup chopped walnuts. Mix just until the flour is moistened; do not overmix.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
