Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat bran
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat bran and all-purpose flour. Stir in the baking powder and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined. Make sure the mixture is smooth and the honey is fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps.
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Honey Oat Bran Muffins warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For best results, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for the flour and oat bran.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a couple of minutes before the suggested baking time. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your muffins by adding ingredients like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips for an extra flavor boost.
- Storage Tips: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying!
