Ww Crumb-Topped Jumbo Bran Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar, lightly packed
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
1 1/2 cups natural bran
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 cup fat-free buttermilk
2/3 cup golden raisin

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 6-jumbo-cup (1 cup each) nonstick muffin pan with nonstick spray (or line with paper/foil liners).
To make the crumb topping, combine 2 tablespoons of the all-purpose flour and the brown sugar in a medium bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the walnuts.
Combine the bran, wholewheat flour, the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, the baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the egg, egg whites, sugar, and molasses in a large bowl intil blended. Gradually beat in the buttermilk. Gradually add the bran mixture, mixing on low speed until just blended. Stir in the raisins.
Spoon the batter into the cups, filling each about half full. Sprinkle with the crumb topping. Bake until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack 5 minutes; remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack.
