A moist and hearty muffin from America's Test Kitchen
1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the raisins and water in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, cut several steam vents in the plastic with a paring knife and microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Let stand, covered, until the raisins are softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the raisins to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
2. Process half of the bran cereal in a food processor until finely ground, about 1 minute. Whisk together the flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk the egg and yolk together in a medium bowl until well combined and light coloured, about 20 seconds. Add the sugar, molasses, and vanilla; whisk until the mixture is thick, about 30 seconds. Add the melted butter and whisk to combine. Stir in the processed cereal and unprocessed cereal; let the mixture sit until the bran cereal is evenly moistened ( there will still be some small lumps), about 5 minutes.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix with a rubber spatula until the batter is combined and evenly moistened. Do not over mix. Gently fold the raisins into the batter. Using a 1/3- cup measure or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, dropping the batter to form mounds. Do not level or flatten the mounds.
4. Bake until the muffins are dark golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out with a few crumbs attached, 16 to 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool for 10 more minutes. Serve warm.
I make mine a bit smaller, usually ending up with 17 muffins.
