- Quick and easy to make - one bowl and done.

These carrot raisin bran muffins are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or snack. They are great after a workout or if you are feeling a little peckish around 2 pm. Packed with nutrients and fibre, and full of flavour, these bran muffin are the perfect choice anytime.
I used Bob's Red Mill egg replacer (1 tablespoon plus 2 tablespoons water), but I've also used 3 tablespoons of aquafaba (chickpea liquid) with good success. If you have a favorite egg replacer, I'm sure it will work beautifully in this very adaptable recipe.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 ½ cups bran
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg replacer (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup neutral oil such as canola
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- ½ cup raisins, more to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400º FPrepare muffin tins with cooking spray or cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl stir together 2 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 cup plant-based milk.
- Grate carrots.
- Add bran to milk mixture, and let it soak.
- Meanwhile, beat together egg replacer*, vanilla, sugar, and oil. Stir in the bran-milk mixture. *I used Bob's Red Mill egg replacer and followed directions for 1 egg; however, you can use any egg replacer you have on hand including ground flax seed (1 tablespoon + 3 tablespoon warm water - let set until thick) or aquafaba (3 tbsp).
- Add the dry ingredients and mix together. Stir in the carrots and raisins.
- Spoon into prepared muffin tins. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from oven when the tops are nicely golden brown. Let cool and move to a cooling rack.
- Serve plain or with some nut butter for extra protein and crunch.
- These muffins freeze well so are great for food prepping for the week. Enjoy!

Just made these and love them! Tender and moist. The ingredients say 1 T of lemon juice, but the instructions say 2 T… I used 2. I used coconut milk, Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer, and subbed dried cranberries for the raisins (and a little less cinnamon—it’s not my favorite). I will make these again… love the carrot bits. The color is so pretty and probably adds even more fiber.

Hi, your recipe for the carrot raisin bran muffins ask for bran. Is that bran cereal or wheat bran?
Tracy Halasz
Wheat bran!
