The Perfect Blend of Ingredients

To make these wholesome muffins, you’ll need:

• 2/3 cup boiling water
• 1 cup wheat bran
• 1/4 cup dark, full-flavored honey (or molasses, if preferred)

A Simple yet Effective Preparation Process

To bring these ingredients together, follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Bran Mixture
Heat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup muffin pan. In a large bowl, pour boiling water over the bran, honey, oil, and raisins. Stir well and set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and wheat germ.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, beat the eggs and buttermilk until smooth.

Step 4: Bring it All Together
Stir the flour mixture into the bran mixture, then add the wet ingredients and stir together lightly until just mixed.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Spoon the mixture into muffin cups and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and spring back lightly when pressed with a fingertip.

The Final Touches
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove them to a rack to cool. Enjoy your delicious, wholesome bran muffins!
