Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, cover the raisins with water, and set aside to plump. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, dry milk powder, wheat bran, and farina cereal until thoroughly combined.
- Drain water from the raisins. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, then mix in the drained raisins, applesauce, carrot, vegetable oil, and bran cereal. Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture, and briefly mix just to moisten (do not overmix). Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full, and sprinkle each muffin with about 1/2 teaspoon of raw sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are set and the tops are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean. Serve warm.

WHOLE-WHEAT ENGLISH MUFFINS
Yes, it is worth your while to make English muffins from scratch. Not only is the texture lighter and crisper, homemade muffins taste better, too - yeasty, wheaty, complex. You will need to sear these muffins on the stove top before baking. That's what gives them their unique crunch on their bottoms. This recipe does not require muffin rings, but if you have them and would like to use them, go right ahead. Just add a few minutes onto the baking time to accommodate the muffins' increased thickness. Then fork-split them, toast and serve with plenty of butter. After all, that's what those crevices are made for.

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine yeast and 1/3 cup warm water (80 milliliters) and let rest until yeast has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter and put it in a large bowl. Whisk in yogurt, milk, honey, salt and the yeast mixture.
- Add flours and baking soda to bowl and beat thoroughly with a spoon or rubber spatula until well combined. Cover bowl and let rest in a warm spot for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until dough has doubled.
- Heat oven 350 degrees. Lightly dust a small baking sheet with cornmeal.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Using a large ice cream scoop or 1/2 cup measuring cup, drop batter into skillet to form round muffins about 4 inches in diameter, mounding the batter in the center. (You may need to coax the dough a little with your fingers, so be careful of the hot pan, and don't worry if they're not perfectly circular.) Repeat until you have 3 muffins, leaving the rest of the batter for a second batch. Reduce heat to low. Cover skillet with lid or baking sheet and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown. (Be careful not to let them burn.)
- Uncover skillet and flip muffins using a spatula. Cover again and cook 2 to 4 minutes or until the other sides are golden brown. Place muffins on prepared baking sheet. Repeat using remaining batter and another tablespoon of butter.
- Bake muffins for 6 to 9 minutes, or until puffed and cooked through. Split the muffins with a fork and toast before eating.

Tips:
- Use a variety of grains: This will give your muffins a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include oats, wheat berries, quinoa, and flaxseed.
- Soak your grains overnight: This will help them to soften and cook more evenly. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can also boil them for 15 minutes before adding them to the batter.
- Use ripe bananas: These will add sweetness and moisture to your muffins. If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can also use applesauce or pumpkin puree.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them to rise and brown properly. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Three-grain muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with whole grains, fruits, and nuts, and they're easy to make. With a little planning, you can have a batch of fresh muffins ready to enjoy in no time.
