These moist, hearty muffins have great texture because of the slight crunch that the chia seeds contribute. They're not very sweet, and they crumble a little bit even thought they're moist; add a little more sweetener if you want more of a treat. I think they taste best a day after you bake them.

Steps:
- Place the raisins in a medium bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let sit 5 minutes, then stir in the bran and the chia seeds. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, oil and agave syrup. Whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla. Stir in the raisin and bran mixture and combine well. Fold in the sifted flour mixture and combine well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil, butter or spray 18 to 24 muffin cups. Stir the batter and fill each cup 3/4 full. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the size of the cups, until the muffins are puffed and browned. Remove from the tins and cool on a rack.
