Soak Bran and Sour Cream:

-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cloves, cinnamon, and salt into the wet ingredients mixture. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix, which could lead to tough muffins.

Prepare Muffin Tins:
- Grease your muffin tins generously to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the muffins once they’re baked to golden perfection.

Fill Muffin Tins:
