How to Make Orange Oat And Flax Bran Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 24-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup flaxseed bran, 1/3 cup dry buttermilk powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup warm water (to activate buttermilk powder), 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the juice of 2 large oranges.
Zest 2 large oranges using a microplane grater. Peel off the pith and finely chop the oranges. Add the chopped oranges to the wet ingredients.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 1 cup of your choice of dried cranberries or fresh blueberries, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
