Perkins Bran Muffins Recipes

BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine the cereal, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon into a large bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to blend well. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours. The batter will become very thick.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line your muffin tin with 10 paper liners and set aside.
• Divide the batter evenly among the liners, filling them completely. Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the muffins to cool in tin for 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a muffin tin with paper muffin liners or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the cooled, melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
• Mix the ingredients just enough to incorporate the dry flour into the wet ingredients.
• Add the raisin bran cereal, stir to combine. Allow the muffin batter to sit for up to 45 minutes if you want the bran flakes to take on the moisture from the batter. *These muffins are the only time I will ever argue that soggy cereal is best!
• Portion the muffin batter out into your prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin liner between 3/4 and full. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 16-18 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Remove the baked muffins and allow to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes. Serve warm for best results.
