World’s Best Bran Muffins

Whole Family Recipes—For the Childbearing Year & Beyond
Each Friday, I share a recipe from our community cookbook. Contributors include doulas, midwives, moms, dads, and other supporters of the Center.

Continuing with our breakfast theme . . .

From Janice Livornese

2 cups whole wheat flour
1½ cups bran
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
1 egg
½ cup dark molasses
2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine first five ingredients and mix well. Combine buttermilk, egg, molasses, and butter and add all at once to dry ingredients. Stir just to moisten the flour mixture. Spoon into well-greased muffin cups, filling two-thirds full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Makes 2 dozen muffins

TIP: Molasses is an excellent source of iron and bran is high in fiber, so this is a great recipe for pregnant women.
