Bran Muffins

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F / 205°C with a rack in the middle of the oven. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Alternately, you can butter the pan and skip the papers.

Step 2

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted, butter, and maple syrup. Sprinkle the bran and cereal across the top, stir, and allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes. It should thicken up.

Step 3

In the meantime, in a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the top of the wet and stir until just combined. Quickly fill each muffin cup three-quarters full.

Step 4

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops and edges of the muffins brown, and the tops are well set. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then turn the muffins out onto a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
