1 cup dark molasses

1⁄2 cup melted butter

1 large egg

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄2 cup raisins or 1⁄2 cup other minced dried fruit (apricots, pears, peaches, prunes, or figs)

Prepare muffin tin by coating with non-stick cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, add the bran cereal and milk; let stand for 5 minutes.

Add in the molasses, oil, and egg; stir to blend.

In another mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the liquid ingredients and raisins to the flour mixture; fold just until blended (do not overmix).

Bake in a 400° oven for 20-22 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from the sides and pick comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
