- Add the egg and vegetable oil to the bran mixture and whisk until combined.
- Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the raisins and walnuts if using.
Baking
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
For added flavor, you can include spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. These muffins freeze well; just wrap them tightly and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
