Super Moist Bran Muffins

This is the other recipe I have been meaning to post for quite sometime. I discovered this recipe on the back of my Bob's Red Mill Wheat Bran package. Our whole family loves them!

1 cup Bob's Red Mill Wheat Bran
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup milk
1/2 cup honey (or molasses)
3/4 cup applesauce
2 Tbsp oil
2 Eggs, beaten*
Optional - 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 cup chopped nuts (I haven't made them with nuts or raisins)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine wheat bran, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir in nuts and raisins. In a separate bowl, blend applesauce, milk molasses, oil, and eggs. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Spoon into greased muffin tin (or paper muffin cups) and bake for 15-20 minutes. Makes 12 marvelous muffins!

*I have substituted 1 Tbsp of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 Tbsp of water for one egg in baking recipes. I tried it with this recipe and I liked the muffins even better! They were more moist.
