Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

I love oatmeal raisin cookies.  But my love for cookies doesn't come anywhere near my love for muffins.  I decided to have the best of both worlds and concoct oatmeal raisin muffins!  The results were delicious!

1 1/2 cups oat bran
1 cup buttermilk (or one cup milk + 1 TB vinegar)

1/3 cup apple sauce
1 egg
1/2 cup agave nectar OR 2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup raisins

Instructions
This recipe makes 12 perfect muffins.  They don't rise much, so don't be afraid to use all of the batter in the tins.


1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line muffin pan with paper muffin liners or grease the pan.
2.  Mix the oat bran & buttermilk.  Set aside to let stand for ten minutes.
3.  Beat together the applesauce, egg, agave nectar/sugar, & the vanilla.  Add this to the bran & buttermilk mixture.
4.  Sift together the flours, baking soda & baking powder.  Add to the bran & buttermilk mixture.  Stir in raisins.
5.  Bake muffins for ~18 minutes.
