Yummy Bran Muffins

Directions

Ingredients :

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 ½ cups bran cereal (such as Kellogg’s® All-Bran®)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

⅔ cup dark brown sugar

⅓ cup vegetable oil

1 egg

beaten

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup raisins (Optional)

Methods :

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

Stir milk and lemon juice together in a bowl; let sit until milk curdles slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour bran cereal into milk mixture and let cereal soften, about 5 minutes more.

Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves together in a bowl. Beat brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until batter is just-combined.

Stir bran cereal mixture into batter; fold in raisins. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and set, 16 to 18 minutes.
