Servings:12 muffins

Ingredients

7 ½ ounces whole wheat flour (1 ½ cups, see note)
2 ounces wheat bran (1 cup)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon table salt
5 ounces raisins ( 1 cup, optional)
8 ounces whole milk (1 cup)
6 ounces honey (½ cup)
1 ¾ ounces vegetable oil (¼ cup)
2 large eggs
1 large apple (1 cup, grated)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or butter and flour the pan. (see note)
In a mixing bowl whisk together the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Toss in the raisins.
In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, honey, oil and eggs. Grate the apple with the large side of a grater and add the grated apple to the milk mixture.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Scoop the batter into the muffin pan. Bake until the center of a muffin springs back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes for standard size muffins.

Notes

If measuring the flour by volume use the “dip & sweep” method. That is, dip the measuring cup into the flour bin, overfill it, then sweep away the excess.

This recipe will make 12 regular or 6 jumbo muffins.
