raisins

By special request: 
Here is my more-or-less recipe for my chock-full-o-health bran muffins.
The more-or-less refers partly to the golden raisins and dried apricots which I add in different quantities depending on my mood or what I happen to have in my pantry.
It also refers to the fact that I tend to experiment with ingredients, oven temperatures and cooking times - so this is the formula I am using currently (no pun intended!).

I usually mix these by hand since I am too lazy to have to take out my mixer and wash it afterwards. And muffins are not supposed to be overmixed anyway - or so I am told.

Heat oven to 425
I use the silicon baking trays and lightly coat them with oil
This recipe makes 24 muffins

2 cups of golden raisins
Dried apricots- chopped into raisin size chunks- I use about 0.25 to 0.5 cups
3 cups skim milk
Place raisins and apricots in bowl and pour the  milk over and allow to soak.

In another bowl blend 3 eggs, 1.25 cups brown sugar and 1.5 cups of oil (I usually mix  olive oil and grapeseed oil) and 1 tablespoon vanilla essence

mix together 
1 cup oat bran
1 cup wheat bran
2 and 2/3 cup organic whole wheat flour 
0.25 cup of flax seed
6 tablespoons wheat germ
3 tablespoons baking powder

Add the milk, raisins and apricots to the eggs, sugar and oil  and mix well
Then add the dry ingredients and mix till fully incorporated but not overmixed.
