High Fiber Carrot Bran Muffins Recipe
By Zosia Culinary Adventures | Date: July 07, 2025
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Baking Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 14 Muffins
Equipment: Non-stick muffin pan (full size)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/2 cups High Fiber ready-to-eat Bran Cereal (All Bran Buds)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped dates or raisins
1 cup grated carrots
1 3/4 cup buttermilk or kefir
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
grated rind from 1 lemon or orange
avocado or other vegetable oil spray
Instructions:
Presoak All Bran cereal in buttermilk for 10 minutes.
Poured boiled water over the chopped dates until they were fully submerged, allowing them to soak for 10 minutes. This process softens the dates, enhancing their natural sweetness and making them easier to blend into recipes.
Grease non-stick muffin pan with oil spray
Preheat the oven to 400°F or 200°C.
In large bowl, stir together all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda.
Drain dates to remove extra liquid and mix with dry ingredients. Carefully fold in buttermilk with bran cereal, grated carrots, oil, egg, and lemon zest, stirring just until mixed.
Note: You can replace buttermilk or kefir with 1 2/3 cups of regular milk mixed with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Spoon the muffin batter carefully into greased muffin tins, filling each tin generously right up to the top edge. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops feel firm when gently touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely dry.
Muffins stay soft and tasty for a few days in the fridge. For longer freshness, freeze them in airtight bags for up to a month.
