• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ cup chopped nuts and/or raisins
• 2  eggs
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup cooking oil

Instructions

TWO: Stir eggs, sugar and oil into bran mixture, then add to dry ingredients; stir just until combined.

THREE: Spoon batter evenly into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups.
