Try this classic wheat bran muffin recipe, made from scratch and ready in under an hour.
What is wheat bran? Wheat bran is the outer layer of wheat kernel and is often separated from the other 3 parts of the wheat kernel during processing. Plus wheat bran is an excellent source of fiber! For this recipe I used Bob’s Red Mill wheat bran. I had trouble finding it in stores, but you can also purchase from Amazon.
Bran muffins are an excellent choice for breakfast or brunch! It is a traditional recipe and fun fact- many early brand muffin recipes called for yeast, molasses and later fat. I used applesauce to make them moist. Enjoy and everything tastes better from scratch!
