Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Oil 16 muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
Spread bran and pecans on a large rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Meanwhile, put raisins and 1/2 cup water in a small pot, cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the water is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes.
Transfer raisins to a blender.
Add 3/4 cup water, yogurt, syrup, oil, applesauce and egg and blend until smooth.
In a large bowl, mix together toasted bran and pecans, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cherries.
Pour liquid ingredients from the blender over dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Scoop batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out free of crumbs.
Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.
