How to Make Whole Grain Raisin Muffins

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons molasses until well combined.
Stir in 1/2 cup wheat bran and 1/2 cup rolled oats. Let stand for 15 minutes to soften the oats.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
Stir in 1 cup raisins.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should spring back when lightly touched.
Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
