Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup Sun-Maid raisins

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

   
   

2. Line your muffin pan with liners. (The ones I use are linked in my Amazon storefront.)

   
   

3. In a small bowl, mix buttermilk and wheat bran, then let soak for 10 minutes.

   
   

4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.

   
   

5. Stir in brown sugar and granulated sugar.

   
   

6. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, molasses, oil, and vanilla extract.

   
   

7. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Slowly mix together with a spatula.

   
   

8. Add in the soaked wheat bran mixture and gently fold until combined.

   
   

9. Fold in the raisins, being careful not to overmix.

   
   

10. Fill muffin liners 3/4 full and optionally top with a few extra raisins for decoration.

    
    

11. Bake for about 21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    
    

12. Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve.

Pro Tip: I love serving these cut in half and buttered!
