How to Make Spiced Carrot Bran Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup bran cereal and 1 cup buttermilk. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften the bran.
Add 1 large egg, 1 cup grated carrots, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the bran mixture.
Mix well until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown on top.
Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
