I have been looking for a good and easy to make bran muffin recipe. I have found it I made these on Sunday and will have to make more on Tuesday, the family just can't get enough of them. The only thing i found confusing is where is the molasis added? Oh well i just threw it in at the end!!

I grew up on a similar bran muffin mix, my mom's favorite 6 week bran muffins. But we couldn't find the recipe when I went to visit her. I tried this one when I got back. It is great. I doubt my batter will last 6 weeks.

Delicious! Just a note: the molasses is not included the 'Directions'. Thanks for the yummy recipe!!

I think I'm in love. These muffins are awesome! I'm an addict. Thank you so much. I used dates and they are a wonderful addition.

I, also, grew up on a similar recipe; but I think these muffins are even better. The dates make a wonderful addition! I creamed the malassass with the butter etc. I was dubious about saving the batter in the refrigerator, but it worked beautifully (although I was surprised at how thick the batter had become).
