All-Time Favorite Bran Muffins (plant-based)
These bran muffins were almost always around on weekends when I was growing up. My mom would make a fresh batch on Saturday morning and we would snack on them all weekend. I made a few modifications to make them vegan, but they are just as tasty as the originals. With a good dose of bran and raisins, this is a healthy muffin choice as well as being an all-time kid favorite!For today's inspiration, may we find wisdom in the words of E.B. White. Maybe this is why I love spending time at the library! “A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book."
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter or margarine
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup molasses
- ¾ cup non-dairy yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups soy milk
- 2 cups bran
- 2 cups flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups raisins
Directions
- In a blender, mix the margarine, brown sugar, molasses, yogurt, vanilla, and soy milk.
- In a large bowl, mix the bran, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and raisins.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and mix just until combined.
- Spoon into muffin tins lined with paper or silicone muffin cups – you will need two tins or the same tin for two batches, since this recipe makes 18 muffins.
- Bake at 375F for 20 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature, plain or topped with butter, honey, or jam.
- They freeze well too and are ready to eat from frozen after 30 seconds in the microwave.
