Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Fill muffin tins with paper muffin liners (these work the best in this recipe - I do not recommend making these muffins without using paper liners)

In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) cream butter with sugar, then stir in oil. Add molasses.
in a separate bowl, mix flours, bran, wheat germ, baking powder and chia seeds together.
Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix well. You can use an electric mixer for this part.

Spoon batter into paper liner filled muffin cups to the top.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until tester or toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
