How to Make Whole Wheat Blueberry Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup bran cereal, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tang), 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (or 1 1/2 cups diced apples and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes for regular-sized muffins, or 30-35 minutes for large muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
