Honey Bran Muffins

Description

Honey Bran Muffins are my favorite muffin! The raisins in the light muffin are such a great combination.

This muffins are inspired by the Whole-Wheat Honey Bran Muffins from Peet's Coffee.

I've been trying to make hearty and somewhat healthy muffins for a long time and I've really found this recipe to be my favorite muffin recipe.

These muffins are great to make on the weekend and then you have a quick breakfast or snack for during the week.

Honey Bran Muffins

Tips

Add more raisins than you think are needed. The raisins are key to the recipe.

I think it's better to cook these muffins longer than you think to make sure the tops get a nice crust on them.

Add a small amount of flour to the raisins to help the raisins not stick together and to prevent the raisins from sinking in the batter.
