Harris Ranch Sticky Bran Muffins

These are sorta a process, but so yummy! Normally I half the recipe because there's only two of us!

1 1/4 C sugar
2 C raisins
3 1/2 C bran ( I like wheat better than oat)
1/2 C honey
1/2 t. salt
1/2 C oil
2 eggs
2 C buttermilk
1 1/4 C pastry flour (you can substitute regular flour)
Walnuts optional

Honey Smear:
3/4 C brown sugar
1/2 C butter softened
1/2 C honey

Honey smear: In bowl cream brown sugar with butter and honey until smooth. SPRAY muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray or you'll be in trouble! Coat bottom and sides of muffin tins with smear.

Muffins: In bowl combine sugar, raisins, bran, honey, soda, oil, eggs and buttermilk. Blend well. Stir in pastry flour, incorporate until smooth. Pour into pans prepared with honey smear. Bake at 350 degrees 20-25 min.

My mom puts them into muffin cups, I just put them in as the recipe goes and then we eat them upside down! Enjoy!
