Raisin Bran Muffins

My mother-in-law makes a muffin with Raisin Bran cereal that you can keep the batter in the fridge and make fresh muffins over the course of a week. This is a version of that that I have doctored (Ellie Krieger style) to cut the fat and add some omega-3s to make a hearty breakfast muffin.

Dry:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup oat bran
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 cups raisin bran cereal (I used Cascade organic)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Wet:
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup raisins

Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately then combine. Stir in the raisins. Drop into muffin pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 400 for 12-15 min.
