- 1 ½ cups wheat bran
- 1 cup boiling water
- ⅔ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup blueberries frozen are fine, no need to thaw
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining with papers or greasing well.
Pour boiling water over wheat bran in a large bowl and stir until absorbed. Stir in brown sugar, vegetable oil and egg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to bran mixture, gently stirring until mostly combined (there should still be a few floury streaks). Fold in blueberries, then divide batter among muffin cups. Bake 15-20 minutes, until tops feel springy when gently pressed. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
