Classic Bran Muffins

Description: This is my favorite bran muffin recipe. It's so easy and delicious! I got it from another website a couple of years ago.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups wheat bran or 1 1/2 cups oat bran
• 1 cup buttermilk (or soy buttermilk, Soy "Buttermilk", to make them dairy-free)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (can replace all or some with applesauce to make them lower fat)
• 1 eggs or 1/4 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
3. Mix together wheat bran and buttermilk; let stand for 10 minutes.
4. Beat together oil, egg, sugar and vanilla and add to buttermilk/bran mixture.
5. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
6. Stir flour mixture into buttermilk mixture, until just blended.
7. Fold in raisins and spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Cool and enjoy!
