| 10 oz (300 g) unsweetened organic bran cereal | 4 fl oz (125 ml) good-quality vegetable oil | |
| 10 oz (300 g) wholemeal flour | 4 fl oz (125 ml) molasses or black treacle, or 2 fl oz (60 ml) honey and 2 fl oz (60 ml) molasses or black treacle | |
| 2 tsp baking powder | 1/2 pint (300 ml) milk | |
| 2 large eggs, beaten | 40 oz (125 g) raisins or sultanas |
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Combine the cereal, flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, blend the eggs, oil and molasses, treacle or honey milk and raisins or sultanas.
Mix all the ingredients together, stirring just until mixed.
Spoon the mixture into greased muffin tins, making sure not to fill them more than two-thirds full. Bake until golden and starting to come away from the sides of the tin, about 25–30 minutes.
