Ingredients
½ c. vegetable oil
½ c. honey
¾ c. buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 Tbs. orange zest (use a microplane, and do not remove the white under the peel, which is bitter)
Blend the oil and honey well, then add the remaining wet ingredients.
Add in:
1 c. grated carrots
1 c. raisins
In a separate bowl mix together:
2 1/4 c. flour
1 Tbs. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg
¼ c. wheat bran
Preparation
Mix the wet ingredients with the dry just until they are blended. Prepare 12 small muffin cups with liners (I also spray lightly with a non-stick spray), and scoop mixture into the cups. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.
