Classic Bran Muffins

This is a very yummy recipe!!!


INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil (I used 1/3 c. pumpkin to make healthier....so good!)
1 egg
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Molasses (optional - I added it)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

Mix together wheat bran and buttermilk; let stand for 10 minutes.
Beat together oil, egg, sugar, molasses and vanilla and add to buttermilk/bran mixture. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into buttermilk mixture, until just blended. Fold in raisins and spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
( I also squeezed a tiny bit of honey on the tops before baking, it was really good because these aren't super sweet! It kind of tastes like a Mimi's muffin...kinda)
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool and enjoy! Makes 12
