Cran Bran Muffins

Directions

Ingredients :

1 ¼ cups wheat bran

⅓ cup dark brown sugar

¾ cup whole milk

⅔ cup grapeseed oil

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon molasses

1 orange

zested

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 ½ cups fresh cranberries

Methods :

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.

Combine bran and brown sugar in a large bowl.

Pour milk into a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Heat until almost boiling, about 1 minute. Pour over the bran mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until combined. Let stand until milk is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes.

Beat oil, eggs, molasses, and orange zest into the bran mixture.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix into the batter until just combined. Sprinkle cranberries on top; fold in with a spatula. Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
