these baked out very nice with a great bran flavor but definately needs way more sugar than 1/4 cup and so I did add in more, these were chosen and made for Kittencalskitchen forum Nutin But Muffins tag game event, thanks Galley! -
I love muffins made with natural bran and this recipe was a delightful find. I trimmed back some on the fat and sugars as follows: 1/4 cup of canola oil for the butter, 2 Tbsp Splenda Brown Blend for the brown sugar, egg white only in the to equal the amount of 1 whole egg, fat free vanilla yogurt for the sour cream and 1/4 cup of raisins. They still came out very moist, tender and scrumptious. The recipe is very simple and quick to make and pure pleasure to munch. Made for the Diabetic Forums April '10 tag game. -
I double this recipe and used canola oil instead of the butter. Made 9 delicious jumbo muffins.

I was wondering if anyone knows how many calories or WW points for one of these bran muffins. -
We thought these very good! Easier to put together than similar recipes also on this site. I substituted honey for the molasses, which made them sweeter and gave them a great texture. Dark corn syrup might be another good choice if you are not a fan of molasses. They are a smaller muffin. I might try increasing the batter by half again and dividing that by 12 as I don't like baking with empty spaces in the tin. Diana #2, thanks for the post!
