Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup wheat bran
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained and chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with 18 paper liners. Soak raisins in 1 cup hot water until soft, about 10 minutes; drain raisins and transfer to a food processor. Puree until smooth, about 30 seconds.

In a medium bowl, combine bran, flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, stir together yogurt, brown sugar, molasses, butter, egg, and raisin puree. Add dry ingredients and stir to combine; fold in pineapple. Divide batter evenly among liners. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.

                Delicious! Strong mol[filtered] flavor comes through along with sweetness from the pineapple. Followed the recipe exactly including the raisin purée, but I used 1/2 t fine salt instead of 1 t kosher plus I added 3/4 t vanilla. Paper liners are a must as these are very sticky. 1/4c batter per liner produced exactly 18 muffins. Breakfast on the go!

                A silly question but, I would rather use the raisins whole, would that change the recipe too much?

                I halved the recipe and used fresh pineapple instead of canned, but got 12 muffins instead of 9. They were good, moist and hearty. I reduced the salt by half just by preference and had no problem.

                Simple recipe with hearty, simple to find, healthy ingredients.  However, I made a few changes. I followed the advice of previous review & switched coarse salt for regular kosher salt.  Also used vanilla low-fat yogurt.  As I was doubling the recipe,  I substituted 5 tbsp of canola oil for the second 1/2 cup of butter.  Reduced cooking time to 17-19 minutes and no burnt flavors - nice and moist.  Served with a yogurt/cool whip spread at my daughter's 'healthy eating' class party - home run!

                This was tasty except for the coarse salt bit. I found that that coarse salt didn't break down and enhance the flavour but just left salty pockets throughout the muffins. I think next time I'd use regular fine salt...
