"This a good for you muffin...with the fall flavours. I can't remember where I got it...probably from a magazine...as there was no internet then. Enjoy! I have changed the oven temp as per one reviewers advise."

These were very good, though I would suggest cutting back on the oven temp as mine got pretty brown and crisp around the edges. I used buttermilk in lieu of plain yogurt, and oat bran for the "natural bran". I only had about 1/4 c raisins but that seemed like enough for 12 muffins. This was a really yummy recipe, and one I'm sure I will visit many times over. I can't wait to try it with craisins! DS (10 months) also approves--this was his first warm homemade muffin :). Thanks for posting!
