Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the muffins bake evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare Muffin Tin

    Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, bran flakes, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

  3. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  4. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, fold in dried cranberries and chopped walnuts into the batter.

Baking

  1. 7

    Fill Muffin Cups

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  2. 8

    Bake Muffins

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 9

    Cool the Muffins

    Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
