Bran muffins!

Loz

Ladies I thought I'd post my bran muffin recipe. It is very forgiving - you can change ingredients (add some coconut, or oats, or substitute butter etc and they still work). They also taste great and help with bloating & constipation!

You need 2 large mixing bowls. One for wet and one for dry. This makes ~ 24 muffins

DRY

3 c plain flour

1.5 c unprocessed bran

1 c raisins*

1/2 c sugar

1tbs mixed spice

3tsp bicarbonate soda

1tsp salt

WET

2 c milk

2 eggs

1/2 c vegetable oil

3/4 c water

1/2 tsp vanilla

1tbs treacle/molasses/golden syrup

*swap this for any dried fruit or berries, nuts, banana, whatever

Put all the dry stuff in the dry bowl and mix it up

Put all the wet stuff in the wet bowl and whisk it well

Pour the wet into the dry and mix. You don't really need to worry about overmixing - it's a very wet mixture.

Portion out into muffin tins and bake at 160°C for 20-30 mins until it springs back when you poke the top with your finger.

Note you can stick this mix in the fridge for weeks and bake small batches if you like. They lose some fluffiness but still taste good and this way you can just throw in different berries/fruit each time.

I forgot to take a photo of the finished product... but here's one of my 16m daughter "helping" to make them!
