1/2 cup chopped, peeled fresh peaches or chopped canned peaches, drained*

Spray eighteen 2 1/2" muffin cups with nonstick coating or line muffin cups with paper bake cups; set aside.

In a small bowl combine bran buds, bran shreds, and raisins. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water over mixture; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl beat together sugar, buttermilk, cooking oil, and egg till combined.

In a small bowl stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture. Stir just till moistened. Stir in bran mixture. Fold in peaches.

pineapple, apples, or apricots for the peaches.
