This delicious recipe comes from my wife's Auntie Terrie. Do not substitute other brands of bran cereal for the All Bran - I have found the Kellogg's works the best. This makes 12 large muffins. 2 c Kellogg's All Bran cereal 2 c milk 1 c vegetable oil 1 c white sugar 2 eggs 2 c all-purpose flour 1 TB baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 c raisins 1 large or 2 small granny smith apples, peeled and coarsely grated Soak All Bran in milk until soft, about 30 minutes. In a separate bowl whisk together oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. In another bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add oil/sugar mixture, dry ingredients, raisins, and grated apple to the All Bran/milk mixture and mix using a wooden spoon. Fill greased muffin cups to the top, as this recipe does not rise a great deal. Bake at 350 f for 30 minutes. If using a convection oven bake at 325 for 23 minutes. They are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
