Ingredients

  • 2 cups bran flakes or gluten free corn flakes
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup yogurt or applesauce, pumpkin, or mashed banana
  • 2 tbsp oil or additional milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses or pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • 1 1/4 cup flour (spelt, white, or oat)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (see note above for sugar free)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • optional 1/2 cup raisins
  • optional 1 tbsp ground flax for added nutrition

Instructions

  • To make homemade bran muffins, soak bran flakes in the milk in a large bowl for half an hour. Then preheat the oven to 400 F. Whisk all remaining ingredients into the mixing bowl to form a muffin batter. Portion the batter into lined muffin tins, and bake on the center rack of the oven for 20 minutes. The muffins taste even better the next day, and liners peel off easily after a day as well.
