A combination of rye and whole wheat flours, blackstrap molasses, and raisins make these muffins a healthy start to your day. The nutty flavors also make them versatile— if you increase the salt to one teaspoon and omit the sugar on top, these muffins make a great accompaniment to savory dishes like stew.
