Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, combine the bran cereal and water: set aside.

In another small bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and oil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and raisins.

Fluff up the cereal mixture with a fork to break it up. Add the cereal mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the large mixing bowl. Stir until just combined. Do not over mix.

Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray.

Pour ½ cup of batter into each muffin cup.

Bake for 24-25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes in the muffin pan. Remove the muffins to a wire rack to cool.

Enjoy!
