What is Wheat Bran?
Wheat Bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel that has been separated during the milling process. It is high in fibre and promotes healthy bacteria in the stomach.
According to Healthline, a 1/2 cup of wheat bran contains about 12 grams of fibre! It is super to add to breads, muffins and even cookies!
How to make Blueberry Bran Muffins
- Add boiling water to bran and soak bran for about 5-10 minutes. This gives the bran time to soften.
- In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients and add blueberries.
- Sour the milk. Add the sour milk, oil, and beaten egg to the soaked bran. Mix.
- Mix dry ingredients add wet mixture. Stir only to combine.
- Add batter to muffin tins, bake for 20 minutes. Remove and cool on baking rack.
Why is it important to allow the natural bran to soak?
It is a good idea to soak the bran before adding to your muffins because it adds moisture and softens the bran, making it much more enjoyable.
How should you store wheat bran?
You can store bran in an airtight container but if not used in a long while, it may become rancid. I like to store wheat bran in the freezer.
Can you freeze Blueberry Bran Muffins?
Absolutely! I love to make a batch of these and pop them in the freezer (if any are left!) Wrap in plastic wrap and place in a zippered bag for a quick grab and go breakfast or snack.
These are nut free, so they are a delicious and healthy option for kid’s lunches along with chocolate chip banana nut muffins. Both are family friendly treats, that freeze well, and that kids of all ages will love.
