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.

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or grease with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk together rye flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
