Preheat the oven to 425℉, and line the muffin pans in every other cavity.
Sift dry ingredients, then add the bran. Whisk them and set them aside.
1¾ cups All-purpose flour, 2 teaspoon Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Baking soda, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 2 cups Wheat bran
Whisk the eggs with oil and melted butter. Add in vanilla extract.
½ cup Oil, 2 tablespoon Butter, 2 Eggs, 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
Add both sugars and whisk well.
½ cup Granulated sugar, ½ cup Dark brown sugar
Next, add dry ingredients and gently mix.
Mix in the raisins and shredded coconut.
1 cup Raisins, ⅓ cup Shredded coconut
Leave the batter on the counter for 15 minutes. Do the dishes while the batter is resting on the counter. Resting the batter helps to hydrate the flour and contributes to the fluffy and soft texture.
Line the muffin pan in every other cavity, leaving one empty cavity between two muffin liners. This allows the heat to get to each muffin evenly and properly.
Mix the bran and brown sugar and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon on each muffin.
⅓ cup Wheat bran, ¼ cup Brown sugar
Start your oven at a higher temperature, 425F, and bake the muffins for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, bring the oven temperature down to 350F and bake them for another 13 to 15 minutes.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack. Bran muffins are a perfect breakfast with a dollop of butter!
