1⁄2 cup brown sugar
1⁄4 cup butter
1 tbsp molasses
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3⁄4 cup wheat bran cereal
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄3 cup whole wheat flour
3⁄4 tsp baking powder
1⁄2 tsp baking soda
1⁄2 cup yogurt
1⁄3 cup raisins (chopped dates, prunes
or apricots can also be used)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick vegetable spray. In a large bowl, combine sugar, butter, molasses, egg and vanilla until well blended. In another bowl, combine cereal, all-purpose and whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to bowl alternately with yogurt. Don’t overmix; batter should be lumpy. Fold in raisins (or the fruit of your choice). Pour into muffin cups; bake for 15-18 min., or until muffin tops are firm to the touch.
