Muffins
Bran Muffins are a wholesome, high-fiber treat made with hearty whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, and natural sweetness from raisins. Lightly sweet, tender, and satisfying, they are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a mid-day pick-me-up.
Ingredients
½ cup wheat germ
½ cup whole-wheat flour
½ cup bran
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup raisins
½ cup milk
1½ tablespoons corn oil
1 egg, beaten lightly
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Grease a muffin pan or line with paper liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine wheat germ, whole-wheat flour, bran, and baking powder until well blended.
Add raisins and toss until coated.
Stir in milk, corn oil, and beaten egg. Mix just until all ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix.
Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from pans quickly to prevent muffins from becoming soggy.
