These wholesome vegan bran muffins are a delightful and nutritious treat, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Whisk the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
In another bowl, mix the soymilk, applesauce, ground flax seeds, and vanilla extract.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flax seeds to thicken.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the raisins and sunflower seeds.
Gently fold to distribute the mix-ins evenly without overmixing.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
Serve the muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast option.
Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
