Preheat oven to 350˚F and grease or line muffin tins with parchment paper.
In a small bowl combine 1 cup sour milk and 1½ cups wheat bran. Allow to rest.
In a large bowl whisk together 1 cup all purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon soda, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
To the bran mixture, beat in 1 large egg, then add 2 Tablespoons molasses and 2 Tablespoons butter melted.
Create a well in flour mixture, then add bran mixture. Stir only enough to combine. Add optional ⅔ cup raisins if using.
Fill muffin tins or parchment cups half full. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle of muffin comes out clean.

Make sour milk by adding 1 Tablespoon vinegar into milk. Stir well and let sit for about 5 minutes.
For a higher rise, use a 375˚F oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Check for doneness after 15 minutes.
