Name: Raisin Bran Muffins That Work
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 eggs; 1 cup 1% low-fat milk; 1/2 cup canola oil; 1/4 cup molasses; 3/4 cup packed brown sugar; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 1/2 cups wheat bran; 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1 cup raisins (or blueberries, unthawed if frozen)

Servings: persons

2 eggs
1 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup molasses
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins (or blueberries, unthawed if frozen)

1
Preheat oven to 400F; prepare muffin pans by lining cups with paper muffin liners.
2
In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, oil, molasses, sugar and vanilla.
3
Stir in bran; let stand for 5 minutes.
4
In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to egg mixture, stirring just until combined.
5
Carefully stir in raisins, being careful not to overmix.
6
Fresh blueberries, or unthawed frozen ones, can be substituted for raisins, by the way.
7
Spoon into paper-lined muffin cups, filling right to the top.
8
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until muffins are firm to the touch; do not overbake or muffins will be dry and tough.
9
As mentioned in the description, I like to cut this recipe in half (half of 3/4 cup brown sugar is 1/4 cup+ 2 tbsp) and bake the 6 in my toaster oven; after 20 minutes they are always done to perfection and I don't heat up my kitchen.
10
Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
