How to Make Spicy Orange Bran Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup bran cereal and 1 cup buttermilk. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften the bran.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
- In a third bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons molasses, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
- Add the softened bran mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1/4 cup finely grated orange zest and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
- Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 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. Best served warm!
