    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.
