2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (may substitute yogurt, sour cream or milk)
"splash" (appx. 2 Tbsp) orange or apple juice (opt)
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 - 3/4 cup brown sugar
"dollop" (appx. 2 Tbsp.) honey (opt)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup bran

1 1/3 - 1 1/2 cup graham flour, or whole wheat flour (may substitute unbleached)
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup raisins (opt) (soak in boiling water first to soften, if you like)

Stir together wet ingredients and sugar, mixing well.  Stir in bran and let sit for 10 or 15 minutes.  Add dry ingredients and raisins, and then stir just til combined.  Fill greased muffin tin.  Bake at 400* about 15 minutes (don't overbake - tops will spring back when lightly pressed when done).  Let cool a few minutes and carefully remove from pan (muffins made with graham flour will be more tender and crumbly than those made with regular whole wheat).
