DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin tin, or line with paper muffin liners. In a small bowl, mix together the wheat bran and buttermilk. Set aside to soak until thickened, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg and molasses. Stir in the bran mixture. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter until just moistened. Mix in raisins. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops spring back when lightly pressed.

These muffins are delicious! Very moist with a hint of sweetness, and the molasses give the muffins a great rich flavor. I've made these a number of ways and like them best when adding 3/4 cup of quick oats to the dry ingredients for the base muffin. A mashed banana added to the bran/buttermilk mixture is yummy. I have also added a teaspoon of blackberry butter (can get from an Amish store) or any fruit jam to each muffin tin in between scoops of batter in each muffin tin for a nice filling. I have also substituted unsweetened dried apples (soaked in the butter milk for 10 minutes before adding the wheat bran) or a fresh chopped apple for the raisins and it came out great. For a nutritious breakfast, I like to eat these muffins split and spread with almond butter (or peanut butter) with a banana on the side and a glass of milk. A great way to start the day!

This is the best muffin recipe! I'm starting a small muffin and orange juice business and using these muffins. I wish that I was one of my customers. I've tried these muffins.

Excellent muffins! I like the gooey bran muffins from Mimi's Cafe, but my husband thinks they're too heavy. This recipe had all the sweetness, but was just moist instead of dense. I did use applesauce instead of oil, white whole wheat flour (from King Arthur) instead of all purpose, and increased the molasses to 2 tbsp. and the golden raisins to about 3/4 cup. Baked in jumbo muffin tin (six giant muffins) at 375 for about 25 minutes. Yummy!

I filled cups to nearly the top and got only 12 (not 24 muffins) but they came out great.

I first made these muffins about 5 months ago. I make a batch every 2-3 weeks. I tried a few recipes before I found this one. I have made a few modifications: 1) Applesauce instead of oil -- I use cinnamon normally 2) 3/4 c. whole wheat flour and 1/4 c. white flour 3) I use powdered buttermilk and add an extra tablespoon of water 4) I wanted LOTS of fruits in my muffin so I add 2 cups of various fruits -very small diced apple, raisins-regular and golden, dried cranberries, dried apricots-cut very small, and I will be adding a small amount carrot shredded the next time I make them - BTW 2 1/2 cups of fruit was to much. THANK YOU BRIAN for a great recipe -- it is a staple around here now!

What did I do wrong? I substituted apple sauce for the oil and lowfat milk soured with 1 tsp lemon juice for the buttermilk, and ended up with flat-topped, sticky, spongey muffins. They taste pretty good, but the texture is just weird!

Everyone in my family loved these muffins! My almost-four-year-old ate three and then asked for another! The only change I made was to use 2% milk soured with some vinegar instead of the buttermilk.

Simply delicious. I chose this recipe over the "Classic Bran Muffins" because this one had a little more sugar and molasses that I thought would make a sweeter muffin. I was right. This has the right amt of sweetness. The other recipe would not have enough. Also, left out raisins, don't like them. Overall, moist and wonderful.

This is a breakfast standby in our house! I love them, my three kids (5, 3.5, 2 years) love them, and even my picky husband puts up with them! I make a double batch at least twice a month. They freeze REALLY well; I can't tell the difference between fresh-out-of-the-oven and frozen-then-heated-in-the-microwave. And I'm PICKY when it comes to stuff being frozen! The changes I always make: regular milk instead of buttermilk, whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce instead of oil, no raisins and no molasses (I always forget to get it). These turns out light, fluffy, and so yummy!

These turned out great. I will make them again. The only thing I did different was that I added half and half oil and apple sauce.
