Servings: 6

Prep time:25 Min.

Ingredients:

• 

  1/2 cup Sugar

• 

  1 tablespoon Baking Powder

• 

  1/4 teaspoon Salt -OPTIONAL-Jim's Mom used it, but he doesn't

• 

  2 cups Bran Cereal

• 

  1 1/4 cups Milk

• 

  1 1/4 cup Flour

• 

  1 Egg

• 

  1/4 cup Olive Oil

  1 cup Raisins (Holiday Idea: Soak in Brandy)

Step 1:

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt (optional) and put aside.

Step 2:

In large bowl, stir together bran cereal and milk; let stand until cereal softens. Add egg and olive oil; beat. Add the flour mixture, stir until blended -- allow for characteristic lumps (stiring too much makes tough muffins!)Gently fold in raisins.

Step 3:

Pour batter into 6 greased muffin tins (for big muffins!) or 12 greased tins (for short muffins :-)(Use Olive oil instead of butter to grease pans!)

Step 4:

Bake at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes; more for larger muffins, or until golden brown.

Step 5:

Last step? Eat warm with cream cheese... mmmmmm...
