Steps:
- Kick the tires & light the fires to 350 degrees.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together thoroughly in a large bowl.
- Take the eggs, pumpkin puree, water, applesauce and brown sugar and mix them all really well in a smaller bowl. This is where you have to do the main combining of ingredients; pumpkin becomes tough when over mixed so you have to really make sure you mix it well at this point. Add the raisins into the wet mixture as well.
- When the two bowls have been mixed completely, make a well in the dry ingredients.
- Pour in the wet and mix slowly until they are just combined.
- Grease a muffin tin and because you are using no oil in the baking I suggest this rather than paper liners. These babies stick to whatever you bake them in. Fill the 12 muffin tins up equally, because they are whole wheat flour based they will not be too large.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched and are perfectly risen and brown.

FLAX, OAT BRAN, BUCKWHEAT, & PUMPKIN MUFFINS
This recipe is adapted from the a recipe found on the Red Mill, ground Flax meal bag. For a bran muffin, these babies are moist and very tasty. I've cut the white flour by half, and added an equal amount of buckwheat flour. I've also added a can of pumpkin and reduced the amount of milk. These muffins are so fresh and moist that they will only last a few days, so I freeze what we won't eat in a couple of days.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and blending it or use canned pumpkin puree. If using canned pumpkin, make sure it is unsweetened.
- If you don't have oat bran, you can use old-fashioned oats. Just grind them in a blender or food processor until they are the consistency of flour.
- Flaxseed meal can be found in most grocery stores in the health food section. If you can't find it, you can grind flaxseeds in a coffee grinder or food processor.
- To make the muffins even healthier, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have a muffin pan, you can make these muffins in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Just bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
These whole wheat pumpkin muffins with oat bran and flaxseed are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. They are packed with nutrients and fiber, and they are also low in calories and fat. So next time you are looking for a healthy muffin recipe, give these a try!
