Muffins with oat bran

1/4 cup of oat bran, 
1.5 cups of flour 
2 teaspoons of baking powder, 
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 
1/4 teaspoon of salt (preferably sea), 
1 cup of low-fat milk, 
1/3 cup of honey 
1 egg (with lower cholesterol instead of 1 egg you can take 2 egg whites) 
1/4 cup of olive oil 
1/2 cup of raisins. 

Preparation: In a bowl you mix oat bran, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt . Egg and honey put in milk, mix well with a fork or whisk. Put butter in the milk mixture. After that, pour the mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, add the raisins, stir batter (do not stir too vigorously, let the dough will be lumpy, or cupcakes will be too tight). Lubricate molds for cupcakes. Put the dough in them ( 2/3 of the form for medium cupcakes and almost full for large muffins) and bake at 190 ⁰ C (374 F) for 25 minutes until the muffins will not have a brownish tint or  check if the toothpick, after piercing the cake, remains clean. Put one form with water near cupcakes so you will not burn them and have wet ones. Pull out the cupcakes from the oven and leave in the forms for 5 minutes to cool down a bit. Then remove from the molds and leave to cool. You can get 12 muffins.
