1 1/4 cup raisin bran
1 cup whole wheat flour

Spoon into greased muffin tins up to the lip of the tin. Bake 15-30 minutes, depending on altitude (the higher the altitude, the longer you'll need to cook them). To keep the ultimate amount of moisture while storing, place the muffins into a ziplock bag immediately after removing them from the oven (while still piping hot).

Granny Smith Apple-raisin Chunky Yummy Muffins image

This is my absolute favorite recipe for muffins because they are healthy, yet sweet, and have lots of substance. Definitely an oatmeal kind of stick-to-your-ribs breakfast (or snack). I usually make a double batch and keep them in the fridge in a big ziplock bag for whenever the urge hits anyone. My little brother's girlfriend can't wait till I make them again.

Time 30m

Yield 15-18 serving(s)
