Here is the next entry in my series of photo posts of me making the various recipes in my recipe collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, I took photos while I made more bran muffins for my mom, using a recipe<\/a> I’d found on allrecipes.com and which so far I have not yet<\/s> which I have now (20210214) converted into my own format<\/a>. As a side note, I should<\/s> I have now converted it to my usual recipe format, because when I make them, I use regular milk instead of buttermilk, and I normally make a major change: Instead of placing the batter into twelve muffin papers in a twelve-welled baking tin, I bake the batter in a six-welled baking tin (with slightly larger wells), lined with coffee filter papers, and the baking time was adjusted to 22 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This batch of muffins had a further deviation from the recipes above, which was the intentional omission of raisins for reasons beyond the scope of this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I measured out a cup and a half of wheat bran into a mixing bowl:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bran and milk were mixed with a fork, and put aside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third of a cup of vegetable oil was measured out and placed in a separate bowl (the white dots are milk leftover in the measuring cup):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large egg was added to the vegetable oil:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two thirds of a cup of packed brown sugar were added to the oil and egg:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A teaspoon of vanilla extract was added to the vegetable oil, egg, and brown sugar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

The vegetable oil, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract were blended with a fork: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the ingredients were blended together with a fork:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda were added to a cup of flour — unfortunately, I forgot to add the quarter teaspoon of salt, to no apparent ill effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

The flour, baking powder, and baking soda were mixed together in the cup, and added to the rest of the ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, all the ingredients were blended together with a fork. At this point, I would normally have added three quarters of a cup of raisins, which I didn’t do this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make double sized muffins for my mom, so I use coffee filter papers, for which I use a glass to help form within the baking tin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The batter was spooned into each of the wells:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The muffin tin was placed in a counter-top convection oven preheated to 350F, and baked for 22 minutes (rotated 180 degrees part way through):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The muffins were taken out of the oven after 22 minutes and placed on a cooling rack:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a few minutes, the still cooling muffins were taken out of the baking tin, and returned to the cooling rack to continue cooling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once cooled, I placed the muffins in a sealed container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mom was so impressed, she said that the following morning, she would have one from this batch, before eating the last muffin from the last batch! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
