I fell in love with bran muffins during a trip to Canada when I was 15 years old. I have tinkered with many recipes over the years to make the most perfectly moist and tasty bran muffin ever. This is my most recent creation that combines ground flax, chewy dates and crunchy walnuts. And I think it is the best yet! Let me know what you think.
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped majool dates (optional)
1/2 cup chopped raw walnuts (optional)
1 cup bran
1/2 cup ground flax
1 cup milk
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup molasses
1 egg, extra large
1/3 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
1. Combine your dry ingredients: mix flour, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
2. Add dates and walnuts to flour and stir.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the bran, ground fax, milk and buttermilk together. Let sit for five minutes to moisten the bran and flax.
4. Stir molasses, egg, coconut oil and vanilla into the bowl with the bran/milk mixture.
5. Pour wet mixture into the dry and stir until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Spray your muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill each muffin tin with batter. Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve with butter and a little sprinkle of kosher salt. ENJOY!
