Cran Bran Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups wheat bran
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup whole milk
2/3 cup grapeseed oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon molasses
1 orange, zested
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
Combine bran and brown sugar in a large bowl.
Pour milk into a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Heat until almost boiling, about 1 minute. Pour over the bran mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until combined. Let stand until milk is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Beat oil, eggs, molasses, and orange zest into the bran mixture.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix into the batter until just combined. Sprinkle cranberries on top; fold in with a spatula. Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
