Quick and Easy 5-Ingredient Bran Muffins

1.Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran and milk. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bran to absorb the milk.

3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

4.Add the vegetable oil and egg to the bran and milk mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated.

5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.

6.Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

7.Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8.Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
