We had some flaxseed and wheat bran in our baking pantry and 2nd Man said, "how about some bran muffins?" Who am I to say no to fresh baked goods, ha!
There was a reference on the package to a recipe on the website so that's what he used. We thought we'd share and show you the results.
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups wheat bran
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup walnuts (our substitution instead of raisins)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup brown flaxseeds
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 cup unbleached white all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Grease muffin tins or prepare with baking cups.
2. Cream shortening, brown sugar, and eggs. Add molasses and beat together well. Add milk, then bran. Set aside.
3. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Add nuts and flaxseed.
4. Mix liquid mixture with dry mixture until completely moistened.
5. Fill prepared muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake 15- 20 minutes.
The Red Mill recipe called for raisins but 2nd Man is not a fan of them so he swapped them out for chopped walnuts. They bake up nicely though 2nd Man wished they rose just a bit more.
...they are moist inside and have a good dense and rich texture.
...and of course spread with some butter on them they are even more wonderful.
It was a great way to use up some of our quarantine ingredients.
