Time 28m

Yield 18 muffins, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups all-bran cereal
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda

2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
optional sugar crystals

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a food processor, finely grind half of the cereal. Add the raisins to the mixture, but do not grind them. Transfer the mixture to a bowl with remaining cereal, flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  • Line muffin tin with baking cups. Fill each just more than halfway. Sprinkle generously with sugar crystals, if desired (they add a good taste).

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
