Description

Chopped raisins sweeten these dark, bran-packed muffins that are made with yogurt and applesauce instead of buttermilk and shortening.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups wheat bran
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups nonfat plain yogurt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup chopped raisins

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 18 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
2 Whisk wheat bran, four, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat eggs in another bowl. Add yogurt, sugar, molasses, and applesauce to eggs; whisk until smooth. Stir bran mixture and chopped raisins into yogurt mixture until no dry lumps remain. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
