Raisin Oatmeal Bran Muffins

---

Though there are many good raisin bran muffins on the site, there are none quite like these. The addition of oatmeal helps keep these low-fat muffins moist and tender. The original recipe comes from one of my mom's many muffin cookbooks, wish i remembered which one. I've played with it a bit but this is close.
