This is a recipe post. I loathe and despise recipe sites, but this is one I regularly need to look up. In Canadian measures, which is what I still do my baking in even after 30 years in Europe.

Mix well and let stand while collecting the rest:

  • 1½ cups rye bran
  • 1 c. milk
  • ½ tsp. salt

Ready:

  • ⅓ c. oil
  • 1 egg

Ready:

  • ⅔ c. brown sugar
  • 1 c. flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ c. raisins

Mix the wets. Stir in the drys. Fill muffin pan. Bake 25 minutes at 180℃. Makes 11 muffins because my muffin pan has one broken cup. Uses rye bran because the local windmill has that “left over” as animal feed after milling rye – apparently very few people in the Netherlands use bran anyway, and rye bran even less so. Instead of flour and baking powder use zelfrijzend bakmeel.

Edit: reduce sugar to ½ cup and add 1 tbsp. of molasses to improve flavor and color and reduce sweetness.
