Recipe

Heat oven to 500ºF In large bowl, combine pumpkin, wheat bran, egg whites, buttermilk, molasses and sugar. Stir with whisk until smooth. In separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing only until just moistened, about 30 seconds. Fold in raisins.

Fill the cups of 6 muffin cups 2/3 full. Place tin in oven. Lower temp to 400ºF. Bake until tops are golden brown and springy to the touch, about 30 minutes. Let tin cool on wire rack for 10 minutes before removing muffins. To store, let muffins cool completely on rack. Seal in plastic bag and refrigerate up to 1 week, freeze up to 6 months.
