In a large bowl combine the wheat bran and buttermilk and let the mixtures stand for 10 minutes. Mix together the oil, egg, sugar and vanilla and slowly add it to bran mixture. Next add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir until just blended. Fold in the raisins.

Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the batter into a lined {or greased} muffin tins and bake for 18 minutes.
