bran muffin reipe request - green Quaker bran box

[Chef #229272]

I am hoping to be able to bake these muffins, the recipe was on the green Quakerbox, as a surprise for my mom. She currently buys muffins that tast exactly like these: she used to make them for the family in the 70's. I think it's about time I return the favour!! Thanks!

I have been searching for this recipe forever! I left Canada 10 years ago and lost the green card from the box. Thanks a million. [/img]

These are posted:Bran Muffins - Quaker in case you want to save it. I've made these a few times and LOVE it, too.

These were the muffins my Mom always had me bake. She would tell me that mine tasted better then hers (think she was just trying to encourage my love of baking)

...I also am happy to find this Quaker bran muffin recipe. I had the recipe from the green box since the 70's then suddenly it disappeared. I searched for muffin recipes using molasses but could never find one quite like this so THANKS!! cant wait to make them again.

I learned to make Quaker bran muffins when I was little girl in the sixties. Yes it was a green cutout recipe. I even won 1st prize at the fall fair for my bran muffins!!! I still make them today. The best, moist, tasty muffins
