  • 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flax seeds
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup bran
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries

Preparation

Step 1

1. Set aside 2 tbsp flaxseeds. In food processor, finely grind remaining flaxseeds; transfer to large bowl. Add all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, natural bran, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; whisk to combine.

2. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, sugar and oil; pour over dry ingredients. Sprinkle with cranberries; stir just until combined.

3. Spoon into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups; sprinkle with reserved flaxseeds. Bake in centre of 375ºF oven until tops are firm to the touch, 20 mins. Let cool in pan on rack 5 minutes; transfer to rack and let cool completely.

Notes: Yum! Very hearty and filling - easy to tell it was a bran muffin, but didn't taste too healthy. Lots of great stuff in it. Used golden raisins instead of cranberries.
