Oatmeal Bran Muffins With Raisins & Pecans image

This recipe is from a Williams-Sonoma catalog, which I (of course!) tweaked to suit my own tastes. I love it--it's my favorite "bran" muffin. You can make the mix and keep it in the fridge for 2 weeks if you need to, making as few or as many muffins as you like each day.
