Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup unprocessed bran
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. cardamon (optional)
• 6 Tablespoons honey
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup grated carrots
• 2 Tablespoons molasses
• 3/4 cup of milk
• 1/4 cup oil
• muffin tins
• spray oil or butter/margarine to grease muffin tins
• OR- use paper muffin cups

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
   Grease muffin tins or place paper muffin/cupcake cups in each section of the muffin tins.
   
   Put the dry ingredients in a bowl. Press the mound of ingredients down to make a well in these ingredients.

2. Whisk the liquid ingredients and pour them into that well.

3. Whisk all these ingredients together so that the dry ingredients are well moistened and the ingredients are well-distibuted throughout the batter.

4. Pour this batter into paper-lined or greased muffin tins. Place the muffin tin in the center of your pre-heated oven.

5. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
   To test for doneness: Insert a toothpick to the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are ready to come out of the oven.
   Empty out onto wire cooling racks.
