Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup of Unsulphured Molasses (or your favorite variety of molasses), 4 oz
- 2 1/2 cups of whole milk (you can choose any type of milk), 20 oz*
- 2 large eggs*, whisked
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 85 grams
- 4 cups Bran Flakes
- 2 cups all purpose flour, 256 grams
- 1 Tablespoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoons ground flax seeds (optional)
- 1 cup raisins, 150 grams
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or your oil of choice) 4 oz*
- 2 Tablespoons of honey for brushing tops
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place rack in center of oven.
- Line muffin tins with liners or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine: molasses, milk, eggs and brown sugar. Whisk until incorporated.
- Add in your bran flakes and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.
- Next, add in your dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and flax seeds. Mix using a spatula until just combined.
- Finally add your coconut oil and raisins.
- Fill muffin tins to the top. Be sure keep mixing your batter contents and get raisins and bran cereal in each cup. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to fill.
- You can fill to the top, the muffins will rise and pillow up but won't spread.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a cake tester/skewer comes out clean.
- Remove from oven, while still hot, brush tops with honey.
- Remove from muffin tins and allow to cool on cooling rack. Enjoy!
- Store in sealed container for up to 3 days, or fridge for up to 7 - reheat to enjoy.
Notes
- Any type of milk will work in this recipe, you can use a milk alternative to make vegan.
- I have not tried an egg substitute but for this type of muffin a flax egg or egg replacer will work just fine if you're trying to create a vegan alternative.
- If you're using another type of oil besides coconut, you can add to your wet ingredients if you prefer.
