Ingredients
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
2 cups (Measure and sift if necessary.)
oat bran
3/4 cup (Measure directly from the package.)
sugar
1/4 cup (Granulated sugar is best, packed lightly.)
baking powder
2 teaspoons (Ensure it is fresh for best results.)
baking soda
3/4 teaspoon (Ensure it is fresh for optimal rising.)
salt
1 teaspoon (Regular table salt or sea salt.)
cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (Ground cinnamon for flavor.)
buttermilk
1 cup (Well-shaken before measuring.)
mild honey
1/3 cup (Liquid honey, not crystallized.)
unsalted butter
1/4 cup (Melted and cooled slightly.)
large eggs
2 (Room temperature for best mixing.)
golden raisins
1 cup (Measured and added directly.)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the oven rack in the center. Grease or butter a standard muffin pan to prevent sticking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat bran, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
3
In another bowl, vigorously whisk together the well-shaken buttermilk, honey, melted butter, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or spoon, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Finally, fold in the golden raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick or toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
