Toasted Bran Muffins

Recipe
Nancy Silverton’s bran muffins from La Brea Bakery are hailed to be one of the best, and for good reason. The crumb is tender and rather light for a bran muffin, yet they have that familiar fibrous chew. They have minimal refined sugar by using pureed raisins to add natural sweetness and moisture.
