Raisin Bran Flaxseed Muffins

This is a wonderful, moist bran muffin recipe. I topped  mine with coarse sugar. These muffins were a hit at my house. I love the flax, and maple syrup in these! This recipe is from "The Flax Cookbook."

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Golden Flaxseed, Ground
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups Raisin bran
2 cups buttermilk, low fat
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 large egg
1/4 cup egg whites
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425F and coat 18 muffin cups with canola cooking spray. (I got 24 out of this).
2.    Combine flax, flours, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and beat on low to blend well. Add raisin bran and bet on low speed until just blended in.
3.    Combine buttermilk, oil, maple syrup, egg, and egg whites in another bowl and whisk with fork to blend well. Pour into dry ingredients and beat on low speed just to blend.
4.    Spoon 1/4C batter into each prepared muffin cup and bake until tester inserted in center of muffins comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool.
