Description

These Carrot Bran Muffins are a hearty, wholesome treat that balances sweetness with a satisfying chew. Packed with finely grated carrots, bran, and warm spices like cinnamon, they offer a moist crumb and a delightful texture from the added raisins or currants. The combination of molasses and brown sugar gives them a deep, rich flavor profile that pairs perfectly with morning coffee or afternoon tea. Ideal for breakfast or a healthy snack, these muffins bring a rustic, homemade charm to any table. They are simple to prepare using common pantry staples, making them a reliable favorite for busy mornings or weekend baking sessions.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Stir in 2 cups bran until evenly distributed. Set aside.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, beat 4 eggs lightly.
  5. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil, 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar, and 1/4 cup molasses until smooth and combined.
  6. Add 3 cups finely grated carrots to the wet mixture and stir to combine.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just moistened; do not overmix.
  8. Fold in 1 cup raisins or currants.
  9. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  10. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool in pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
