Recipe Instructions:
-
Soak Bran and Raisins: In a mixing bowl, combine the bran, buttermilk, and raisins. Allow them to soak together while you prepare the rest of the batter.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Incorporate Honey and Egg: Beat in the honey and eggs until well combined, creating a smooth mixture.

Add Bran Mixture: Pour the soaked bran mixture into the bowl with the butter, sugar, honey, and eggs. Stir until evenly distributed.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease muffin cups or line them with paper liners. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Bake until Golden: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delicious flavor of these Honey and Raisin Bran Muffins!
