Raisin Bran Muffins

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup wheat bran
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1/4 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg, cold

• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour + 1 tbsp
• 1 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp grated nutmeg
• 85 g unsalted butter
• 65 g golden raisins

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.  Bring water to boil
2. In a small bowl, combine wheat bran and boiling water. Let stand 5 minutes, then stir in Greek yogurt and eggs
3. Meanwhile, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, and butter in the bowl.  Mix in raisins
4. Add bran mixture and continue only until the batter is well combined. With a flexible spatula, scrape the bowl and fold the batter once or twice to make sure it's well mixed from the bottom up
5. Divide the batter between 12 lightly greased muffin cups. Bake until internal temperature reaches 206°F, about 18 minutes.

NOTES

• Measure out the butter the previous night, so it will be at room temperature in the morning
