01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get a muffin tin ready by greasing it or lining it with paper liners. In a small bowl, mix the milk and lemon juice, then let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens just a bit. Pour the bran cereal into this mixture and give it another 5 minutes to soak up the liquid and soften.

Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. In another bowl, beat the brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir gently until just mixed—don’t overdo it.

Step 3
Next, fold the bran cereal mixture and raisins into the batter. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 16 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are nicely browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool a bit before digging in!
