Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c wheat bran
3/4 c buttermilk
3/4 c applesauce, unsweetened
1/2 c molasses
1/2 c cooking oil
3/4 c sugar
3/4 tsp kosher salt
2 large eggs, beaten
1 c raisins
2 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Reduce to 325 degrees, if using a convection oven. Using (2) 12 regular sized (3.5 oz) muffin tins, place (22) paper and/or foil baking cups/liners in all but two holes. Pour water 1/2 way up in the remaining holes.
