How to Make Sour Cream Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup (118ml) sour cream, and 2 tablespoons molasses.
  4. Gently stir in 1/2 cup (60g) raisins (or other dried fruit).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup (100g) bran cereal.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven; start checking at 15 minutes.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
