1 cup buttermilk |
1/3 cup canola oil |
2 eggs |
1/3 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup wheat bran |
1/2 cup rolled oats |
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 cup candied orange peel (fruitcake mixes) |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix milk, oil, eggs, brown sugar and vanilla, whisking to combine. Stir in the wheat bran and oats. Allow this to sit for 5 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
3. Stir in the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Fold in the orange peel.
4. Line a 12 cup muffin tin. Distribute the batter between the 12 cups. Bake for about 15 minutes, test them for doneness with a toothpick. Leave the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove them and cool completely on a wire rack.
