How to Make Healthy Moist Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a food processor, finely grind 1 cup of bran cereal.
  3. Add 1/2 cup raisins to the food processor; pulse a few times to chop, but do not grind into a powder.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the processed bran cereal and raisin mixture with 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin cup slightly more than halfway full.
  8. Sprinkle generously with coarse sugar crystals (optional).
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
