Method 

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Brush a muffin tin with vegetable oil and line with 12 paper cases. 

Mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the yoghurt, sugar, 120ml vegetable oil, honey, eggs and vanilla until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, folding in with a wooden spoon, until just incorporated. Don’t over-stir. Gently fold in the wheat bran then stir in the blackberries to distribute evenly. 

Fill the paper cases with the mixture. Bake for 22-30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature, decorated with a blackberry if you like. Once cold, they can be frozen for several months.
