Raisin Bran Muffins

Start off the morning with one of these tasty, fiber-rich raisin bran muffins.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup bran
3/4 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 large egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Cooking Directions:

1. In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add in chopped raisins and chopped walnuts. Set aside.
2. In another bowl add bran with milk, let soak for 5 minutes.
   Add egg and oil to bran mixture; beat well. Pour into flour mixture; gently stirring only until the dry ingredients are moistened. The batter will be lumpy. Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling each cup 2/3 full.
3. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven about 30 minutes, or until browned. Remove from oven. Let cool on wire rack.
