Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups bran flakes
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
