    When Grandma says something is perfect, you don't mess around with it!

    My grandma loved these bran muffins - she always said they were perfect! Not too sweet, not too big, not too filling - just perfect! Thanks, Grandma!

    Why You'll Love These Vegan Bran Muffins

    • Quick and easy to make - one bowl and done.
    • Moist and tender with a great muffin top crust.
    • Not too sweet, have a hint of vanilla and cinnamon, and great texture from the carrots and raisins.
    • Nutritious and delicious.
    • Freezes well.

    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.

    Prep Time 5 minutes mins
    Cook Time 20 minutes mins
    Total Time 25 minutes mins

    INGREDIENTS

    • 1 ½ cups bran
    • 1 cup plant-based milk
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 1 egg replacer (I used Bob's Red Mill)
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • ⅓ cup neutral oil such as canola
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 2 tsp cinnamon
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 1 cup carrots, grated
    • ½ cup raisins, more to taste

    INSTRUCTIONS
     

    • Preheat oven to 400º F
      Prepare muffin tins with cooking spray or cupcake liners.
    • In a medium bowl stir together 2 tbsp 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 tbsp + 3 tbsp 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!

    NOTES

    Bran muffins keep well in the fridge for a week or freeze them to grab and go for breakfast and snacks throughout the week.

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