This is a great bran muffin recipe! The flavor and texture are both wonderful. I had to do a few substitutions (oat bran, cranberries instead of raisins, vinegar-soured-milk instead of buttermilk) and they were still wonderful. The recipe seems very adaptable, and I plan on trying lots of variations! Thanks for posting this Kree.

I was looking for a new Bran Muffin recipe after not having made any for quite awhile and thought this one sounded good...and it was! I did change a few things...used applesauce instead of oil and cut the sugar to 1/2 cup, added 1 Tbsp of molasses because I like them in a bran muffin. I also used about 1/3 cup dates (as that was all I had) and they added a lovely sweetness. They were excellent!!! It only made 8 muffins though and I only used regular sized muffin trays. I think next time I will add a bit more molasses and less sugar, maybe 1/3 cup and about 1/2 cup dates. These are great!

Delicious and very easy to make. I used applesauce instead of oil and instead of the buttermilk I used low fat Greek yogurt. I also added a few tablespoons of chia seeds for their nutritional content. I was worried that the muffins wouldn't be sweet enough but they tasted great. I used pumpkin pie spice instead of just cinnamon. I may even try less sugar next time--and there will be a next time! Thanks for posting.
