Excellent for baking, walnut oil was once a specialty item but is now commonly sold in well-stocked supermarkets. The subtly flavored oil is extracted from raw walnut meat and is very nutritious and high in unsaturated fat. For this recipe, do not use toasted walnut oil, a favorite in French cooking, as it is not the same as plain walnut oil. To prevent the oil from becoming rancid, store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 months. If you cannot find walnut oil, you may substitute canola oil in this muffin recipe.

Wheat bran, the outer layer of grains of wheat, is a by-product of the flour-milling process. Although almost tasteless, fresh bran contributes a mild earthy flavor to muffins and other baked goods and is added to recipes along with flour to boost the fiber content and overail nutrition. Unprocessed wheat bran, which has not been toasted, is also packaged as miller's bran. Look for it in the cereal section of supermarkets or in natural-foods stores. Because bran is high in natural oils, it should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

We will include wheat bran in this Honey-Raisin Bran Muffins recipe to give it a different kind of taste and a different kind of glory to its kind and think of how much a lowly bran could give you. Not only the nutrition you need but the energy to surely boost your day.
